"This is our third walk-in testing pa rin... Hangga't kaya namin, mga kababayan, mga taga-Manila... mga hindi taga-Manila... welcome ho kayo, hangga't kaya namin, we will provide mass testing, antibody lab test sa Lungsod ng Maynila," Mayor Isko Moreno told reporters.

The said facility is located at the Justice Jose Abad Santos General Hospital.

The city government earlier said individuals without vehicles can instead go to the walk-in COVID-19 testing facility adjacent to the city's hospitals.

For those with vehicles, they can avail free COVID-19 testing in drive-thru facilities at the Andres Bonifacio Shrine (Kartilya) near the city hall and at Quirino Grandstand.—AOL, GMA News
