Published: May 28, 2020 09:59 am EDT

A protocol in the State of New Jersey requires all employees and horsepeople to complete a mandatory COVID-19 test before returning to work.

Begin by clicking on the link provided below, which will lead to a televisit with a doctor, where you will receive a date, time and location to be tested.

Be advised that there is a four- to five-day lead time from making the appointment and getting your result.

All horsepeople are required to have the test prior to racing at the Meadowlands on June 5.

The Meadowlands Racetrack has set up testing for COVID-19 for all employees returning to work. Testing is also provided for all NJRC-licensed horsemen and state officials.

Dates of Testing: Open every day
