In January 2022, Atlantic County, in collaboration with AtlantiCare, established a drive-thru COVID-19 testing site at the Atlantic County Public Works Yard located at Dolphin and Harvey avenues in Northfield. The site offered PCR testing for both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, with initial operating hours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on January 10, 2022, and subsequent hours from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, starting January 11. Appointments were required, and individuals were asked to provide identification at their scheduled testing time.

This initiative was part of Atlantic County’s broader strategy to enhance COVID-19 testing accessibility and curb the virus’s spread within the community.​
