On 11/28/2020 around 1130a went to first methodist church in hyattsville on belcrest rd to do the coronavirus test. When I arrived at the location, there was no one there and there was no note stating that there will not be any testing taking place. While I was there, I saw other vehicles pulling up and then turning around and leaving..
I called the Prince George’s county hotline and it gave this location and the days and times but nothing about not canceling the testing for today.
This is unacceptable and poorly planned.
While writing this note, more vehicles were still approaching to do their testing, then slowly turning around.
I agree, Beverly – that’s unacceptable, indeed. I wonder what happened and why it wasn’t open that day. I’m sorry to hear of your experience.
Thank you Route One Fun for putting that together in one accessible and easy to follow post! As always you are a fantastic community resource.
