Door County residents looking to get tested for COVID-19 are keeping the Wisconsin National Guard busy. The Sturgeon Bay and Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Departments have hosted COVID-19 testing since October 19th on Mondays on an alternating site basis. Since October 19th, the Sister Bay site has collected 200 samples and Sturgeon Bay performed 430 tests. That includes 230 tests administered this past Monday in Sturgeon Bay.  As the area’s positive case count has doubled in the last month, Door County Public Health Director Sue Powers says the increased testing can help in the long run.

The Wisconsin National Guard announced on Monday it has collected over 800,000 specimens for COVID-19 testing statewide since late April. The next free public testing conducted by the Wisconsin National Guard is Monday at the Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Station from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. No appointment is required.
