Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium hosting free COVID-19 tests in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- According to the CDC, 30% of patients whose race was identified in COVID-19 testing are African Americans.

That data is the motivation behind testing clinics hosted by the Black Doctors COVID-19 Consortium in North Philadelphia on Saturday.

On Monday, the Consortium is holding another clinic at the Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church in West Oak Lane.
