(CNN) A small clinic in central Pennsylvania has set up drive-through coronavirus testing that accommodates horse and buggies for its local Amish and Mennonite communities.

The Central Pennsylvania Clinic in Belleville, a town known for its majority Amish and Mennonite population, is one of the only coronavirus testing facilities in the area.

The clinic's founder and medical director, Dr. D. Holmes Morton, collaborated with Regina Lamendella, the co-founder of a start-up which detects and diagnoses infectious diseases, to develop a new way to test for the virus.

Medical personnel at the clinic collect the swab samples before sending them to the lab at Lamendella's company, Contamination Source Identification (CSI), to be processed. Since launching drive-through testing on April 1, the clinic provided nearly 65 coronavirus tests.

While the clinic is also utilizing the currently available FDA-approved RT-qPCR test, Lamendella said the test has "as little as 66% sensitivity" and can fail to detect the virus in asymptomatic carriers.
