Carrie Beyer and Jeff Flannery considered it their civic duty to get tested for COVID-19 on Memorial Day. Along with thousands of Alexandrians on Monday, the couple took their 18-year-old son to get tested at Cora Kelly School.
“We look at it as our civic duty,” Flannery told ALXnow. “I don’t think we would have come out at all unless Carrie convinced us, because we need to collect the statistics and get an accurate database of what’s going on in the city.”

The latest figures daily figures come as Alexandria’s two poorest communities get 3,000 free tests today at Cora Kelly School (3600 Commonwealth Avenue) and Landmark Mall (5801 Duke Street). The tests are available until 6 p.m. and no registration is needed, although residents who walk to Cora Kelly are asked to wear sunscreen as there might be a considerable wait. Walk up testing is not available at Landmark Mall.
