COVID-19 TESTING CONCERNS

COVID-19 TESTING CONCERNS

In owensboro.

Tri-state health departments are reporting consistent case levels - of new cases from week to week.... and we are now seeing some testing sites across our indiana communities close.... however - testing is increasing at local hospitals like deaconess - where they've expanded supplies - to ensure patients coming in for non-covid-19 procedures are healthy.... "we're also being strategic about testing patients prior to certain procedures.

That may be high risk for transmitting covid-19.

So doing some of that pre- operative and pre-surgical testing has i think added to that increase in testing numbers."

Indiana health officials - are still encouraging people to get tested*if they are symptomatic - or need results before returning to work.... another covid-19
