Free Drive-Up Coronavirus Testing Continues All Week On Auraria Campus

DENVER (CBS4)- A full week of coronavirus testing will be conducted, free of charge, on the Auraria Campus every day this week. It's an effort to get ahead of the spread of coronavirus in Colorado.

King Soopers teamed up with the state health department and the Auraria Campus, to offer free testing to hundreds of people. The testing began last week in a parking garage on the campus in the heart of Downtown Denver.
