Upcoming COVID-19 Testing Schedule Includes Additional Hours at South End Fire Station

Former Fire Station on Brock Avenue Adding Testing Hours on Tuesdays 

Seven Hills Behavioral Health is adding testing hours this week at former Fire Station 11 in the South End. Testing at the Brock Avenue location now will start at 11 a.m. Monday, Jan. 10, and as of Jan. 11, Seven Hills will offer testing at the facility from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays. Vaccine services will not be available at the station on Tuesdays, due to the extended testing hours.

Project Beacon’s appointment-based COVID-19 testing at New Bedford Regional Airport—part of the state’s Stop the Spread program—continues to offer COVID-19 testing at 1569 Airport Road, at these times:

  • Sundays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

  • Tuesdays, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

That schedule will continue through March. Appointments for free COVID-19 tests can be made at beacontesting.com. Airport officials ask that people reach the site via the airport’s side entrance on Downey Street.
