MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The Monongalia County Health Department will conduct a free testing event from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18, at the WVU Rec Center.

virus in our county.”
During the last event at Mylan Park Sunday, Sept 13, 557 tests were administered between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
The WVU Rec Center test site will walk-in only with masks/face coverings and social distancing required.
