The address is 兵庫県芦屋市業平町1-17 (ラポ2 1F).
This testing center is part of the general testing program during periods of rising infections.

Due to the current rise in infections, there may be a shortage of testing kits. The national government has reportedly asked prefectures—and prefectures, in turn, have asked municipalities—to encourage people to get tested only when truly necessary until supplies can meet demand.
