San Juan opens free COVID-19 swab testing facility

San Juan City has opened a free COVID-19 swab testing facility at the San Juan Gymnasium.

The new facility replaces the Mega Swabbing Facility in Palacio de Maynila to improve access for residents.

It can process 500 to 700 tests daily and is an addition to the community testing conducted by the City Health Office.

Initially, the city government is prioritizing healthcare workers, front-liners, close contacts of COVID-19 positive individuals, and symptomatic residents.

Mayor Francis Zamora emphasized that the mass testing aims to efficiently identify and isolate potential cases.

Those who test positive will be immediately isolated and undergo investigation by the city's contact tracers.
