Residents in Renfrew County can get tested for COVID-19 at one of several drive-thru swabbing clinics over the next couple of days. Paramedics and healthcare workers in Renfrew County are attending 4 sites a day, 6 days a week.
This morning (Friday, May 29th), a testing location was set up in Cobden between 9:00am and 11:00am. More testing locations are open this afternoon from 2:00pm to 4:00pm in Pembroke at 7 International Drive and the same time in Arnprior at 77 James Street.
