Four new mobile coronavirus testing sites will be available in Bergen County starting on June 8, county officials said.
The testing sites, which will be in Franklin Lakes, Leonia, Edgewater and Saddle Brook, are the latest locations in the effort to get Bergen County residents and employees tested for free.
“The overwhelming response I have seen at these sites demonstrates the continued need for expanded access to COVID-19 testing across our county, state, and nation," Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco said in a statement.

Here are the dates and locations for the tests, barring cancellations due to weather.

Those receiving a test will need a valid form of identification showing that they either live or work in the county, the statement said. The statement asked that those receiving the saliva test avoid eating, drinking, smoking and chewing gum 30 minutes before the test.
Those interested can choose to get a COVID-19 saliva test or an antibody test. Antibody tests will be limited to 100 tests per day and must be a first responder or a county resident with documentation of a positive coronavirus test.
As of June 5, there were 162,530 reported cases in the state with nearly 12,000 deaths, according to data provided by State health officials.
