Atlantic County will continue its COVID-19 testing 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday, June 2 and Thursday, June 4 for symptomatic county residents with a doctor's prescription, proof of residency and appointment confirmation. The testing location has been moved to Northfield, behind the county's Public Works facility, at Route 9 (New Road) and Dolphin Avenue.
