With the threat of inclement weather, the COVID testing event sponsored by the Mayor and City Council for employees of Cumberland businesses has been rescheduled for Friday, December 18th. All employees working at businesses within Cumberland are eligible for the test, which will be administered by PharmaCare staff, at no cost to themselves or to their employer. This testing event will be conducted indoors on Friday, December 18th from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Constitution Park. Employers located within the City of Cumberland will need to pre-register their participating employees no later than 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 16th using the link found on the City’s website at cumberlandmd.gov. Those individuals already registered for the December 16th event will not need to register again. Pre-registered individuals should enter the Activities building through the marked door, check in, proceed to the nurse for their test and then exit on the other side of the building. Should you prefer to stay in your car for the test, please email blavorgna@aeontechlabs.com in advance so your needs can be accommodated. AEON technologies, in partnership with PharmaCare, will communicate test results to the individual tested within 24-48 hours and report test results to the local Health Department in which the individual tested resides. The City of Cumberland does not receive test results. Any questions regarding the City’s COVID testing event should be directed to Melissa Penrod at 301-759-6446.
