CDPHE opens new COVID-19 community testing sites

Colorado's health department is also hosting multiple testing events throughout the state.

COLORADO, USA — The Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) said more community testing sites for the novel coronavirus are opening throughout the state on Thursday.

CDPHE also announced testing events that will take place through Tuesday, Dec. 15.

CDPHE said there are numerous state-sponsored community testing sites across the state, along with dozens of locations offered by private providers that are free and do not require a doctor's note, identification or insurance.

Walk-ins are welcome, but CDPHE highly encourages pre-registering for testing through the correct link under the appropriate testing site.
