In response to rising COVID-19 cases, the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, in partnership with Aardvark Mobile Health, launched its own mobile COVID-19 testing truck on December 21st. 

The health department will primarily use the truck to quickly respond to small outbreaks that may occur in settings such as workplaces or schools.  The truck ensures that individuals linked to an outbreak have easy access to testing and receive guidance on preventing further spread of the virus.
