POCONO SUMMIT, Pa. — Due to high winds on Thursday, the opening of a COVID-19 testing clinic was delayed a few hours in the Poconos.
The drive-thru testing site at Pocono Mountain West High School in Pocono Summit opened three and a half hours later than scheduled.
High winds made it impossible to set up a tent.
Two trailers were instead brought in so folks could be tested.
This COVID-19 clinic will remain open from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. through Monday, Feb. 1.
