A joint testing event hosted by Door County Medical Center and Bellin Health on Thursday could give the community a closer look at the COVID-19 activity in the area. Approximately 520 people were tested at the Door County Fairgrounds in the drive-through event with the longest wait only taking about an hour. This exceeded the over 400 people that were tested back in June at the Door County Justice Center during a three-day period with the Wisconsin National Guard. Door County Medical Center Director of Quality Nancy Daoust says since it was open to everyone it helped meet a demand that was being previously unmet.
Testing for COVID-19 locally will now go back to only being for those showing symptoms of the virus. You should call the hospital COVID-19 hotline before setting up a time to get tested.
