COVID 19 testing: Many agencies are providing drive up testing - you remain in your vehicle. Social distancing would be required regardless of where you get your testing. Masks would be worn, until the actual testing procedure. A great deal of effort is being made to maintain sanitation which decreases risk of transmission in this situation.
