Punjab Youth Development Board chairperson Sukhjinder Bindra inaugurated a drive-through Covid-19 testing facility and three special open-air testing centres in Mohali.
The drive-through facility has come up at the sports stadium in Sector 78. “The drive-through testing is easy and hassle free facility started by Mohali Administration”, said Bindra after getting his Covid test done at the inauguration.
He said, “Maximum people should avail benefit of these centres and come forward for testing to make Mission Fateh a success.”
Procedure to get Covid test done
At the drive-through testing facility in GMADA sports Complex, Sector 78, a person may arrive at the testing location in his vehicle. He can register at a counter near the entry gate and drive to the sampling counter for the nose or throat swab without disembarking from the vehicle. The entire exercise takes about five minutes and the test result will be conveyed through a message on phone.
