Officials say testing is free, and open to the public, but patients must be symptomatic, or have been exposed to a person positive with the coronavirus.
They say only 80 tests were available, and were administered via swab.
If positive, tests results will come back in a few minutes, but if negative, they say it will take about 15 minutes.
Another round of testing will be available at the same location next Wednesday.
