A mobile testing site for COVID-19 infections will be available in Humboldt through the rest of this week and perhaps for the next two weeks.
The testing trailer is set up near the downtown park at the corner of South Eighth and New York streets in Humboldt, and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day until Friday. It may also be open for the next two weeks.
The trailer was brought to Allen County after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) detected an increased amount of COVID-19 in the county’s wastewater.
“The Allen County Health Department is working with state and local partners to increase availability of COVID-19 testing within the community,” Rebecca Johnson, director of the Southeast Kansas Multi-County Health Departments, said.
Free COVID-19 testing sites can also be found via https://www.coronavirus.kdheks.gov/280/COVID-19-Testing. At-home COVID-19 rapid tests are now available for free at covidtests.gov or by calling 1-800-232-0233. All households are eligible to order two free shipments of four at-home tests, which will typically ship within 7-12 days.
