Thursday’s joint testing effort between Door County Medical Center and Bellin Health could bring many who have been begging to get results. Research shows that approximately 40 percent of those infected with coronavirus are asymptomatic. Not having symptoms does not necessarily mean you cannot spread it to other people.  It is part of the reason many people leave their call with the Door County Medical Center COVID-19 hotline frustrated that they cannot get tested. Quality Director Nancy Daoust says they have tried to educate in those circumstances.

Daoust recommends people continue to socially distance, wear a mask, and practice good hygiene to help protect yourself from getting infected. Whether you are asymptomatic or not, you can get tested for free at the Door County Fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday.
