The City of Rockville is partnering with Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services to provide COVID-19 testing at locations across Rockville.
Rockville’s 20851 ZIP code has the highest number of number of average daily cases per 100,000 residents over the last 14 days, according to DHHS.
DHHS will conduct free drive-up and walk-up COVID-19 testing from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22 in the lower parking lot at City Hall, 111 Maryland Ave. Traffic will operate one way. Enter from South Washington Street and exit to Maryland Avenue. No appointment needed.
Rockville Civic Center Park, 603 Edmonston Drive, will host free drive-up and walk-up testing from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23. No appointment needed. Drive-up and walk-up.
DHHS is also providing walk-up COVID-19 testing from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. every other Friday at Lincoln Park Community Center, 357 Frederick Ave. This outdoor event is subject to weather-related modifications and cancellations. The next testing at Lincoln Park Community Center, scheduled for Oct. 30, will be held indoors due to the forecast of rain.

No-Cost At-Home Testing
Some Rockville residents may be eligible for free at-home testing
Montgomery County rapid response teams conduct no-cost home visits for COVID-19 testing seven days a week to improve access to testing and COVID-19-related medical care for Montgomery County residents who:
• Live in geographic areas highly impacted by COVID-19.
• Are members of population groups disproportionally affected by COVID-19.
• Are homebound or facing significant barriers to testing.
• Have complex or unique household situations in which home-based COVID-19 testing would be more effective than community COVID-19 testing.

Tips for Being Safe and Staying Healthy
The City of Rockville will follow recently issued county guidance for this year’s Halloween celebrations.
Community members are reminded that it is still important to follow best practices for staying safe, including:
- Wearing face coverings while in public.
- Maintaining physical distancing of at least 6 feet between individuals
- Refraining from gatherings of more than one person or household per 200 square feet, or a maximum of 50 people, whichever number is lower.
- Washing your hands or using hand sanitizer often.
Following these best practices and reducing the spread of COVID-19 is a critical step toward moving the county and city into the third phase of recovery and further easing restrictions.
