Officials with the Caldwell Medical Center have announced that drive-up coronavirus testing will continue through the end of June.
Mandy Smiley, Infection Preventionist, says community response has been tremendous with just over 150 tests administered thus far, leading to the decision to extend testing through Monday, June 29th. She adds testing will be held every Monday in June from 3:30 until 5:30PM at Caldwell Medical Center’s downtown office, which is located at 110 South Cave Street in Princeton, and appointments are required.
Smiley notes community members do not have to be experiencing symptoms but do have to be at least 18 years-of-age or older, and must have their drivers license and medical insurance card, though uninsured individuals can still qualify for screening. She states those being tested are also being asked to self-quarantine following the test as they await results, which could take up to 72 hours.
Testing is available for anyone who lives in Caldwell, Lyon, or Crittenden counties and appointments can be made by calling the Caldwell Medical Center at 270-365-0332.
