STAMFORD, CT – Today, Mayor Caroline Simmons announced that PCR testing provider Accu Reference has opened an additional COVID-19 testing site to meet the continuous demand for testing as COVID-19 rates have climbed in recent weeks.

As always, we continue to encourage vaccinations and boosters as the best way to keep our neighbors and loved ones safe and healthy.”
