The City of Frostburg, in partnership with AEON Technologies of Frostburg, will be sponsoring two additional COVID test events for employees working at restaurants, retailers, in-person service providers, and manufacturers within the city limits of Frostburg.   The first testing event was held on December 1 and over 80 workers were tested: the wait times were short and results were received in a timely manner.  The Mayor and Council hope that by providing a testing event in Frostburg for essential and small business workers, businesses will have some confidence in a decision to remain open, reopen, or close temporarily, especially during the holiday season.

 

PharmaCare staff will administer the tests from 1 to 3 pm on Wednesday, December 16, and Wednesday, December 30, 2020, at City Place (14 S. Water Street).  The tests will be processed by AEON Technologies within a 24-hour period, and those tested will be notified of their results shortly thereafter.  There is NO cost to the business or employees for the test.  Testing costs will be covered by CARES Act funding.

 

Businesses must pre-register all of their employees who will be tested by 4pm on Monday, December 14, and Monday December 28, respectively.  This will ensure a quick testing experience and reduce wait times.  Registration for the December 16 event can be completed online at https://forms.gle/RYS2JCRnMVyB9iE86  (please complete all fields for each employee). The registration form for the December 30 testing event will be available at a later date.

 

Questions about this testing opportunity may be directed to Elizabeth Stahlman, City Administrator, at estahlman@frostburgcity.org or 301-697-9168.
