The state’s first rapid Covid-19 testing center in New Haven opened Friday, April 17, 2020. The site which is run by CVS Health and the state of Connecticut provides results within about 30 minutes using a rapid test made by Abbott Laboratories free of charge for those who meet federal criteria and register in advance. Cars queue up to drive through one of three bays in tents sent up in the parking lot at the former Gateway Community College campus on Sargent Drive. The center will be open seven days a week and expects to test up to 750 people a day. Cloe Poisson / CTMirror.org
