Mobile Coronavirus Testing
The Douglas County Health Department offered mobile testing for corona virus last week. Those wishing to be tested drove up to the Moultrie-Douglas Fairground where they were greeted by testers. Douglas County Health Dept. Director Amanda S. Minor, MPH, LEHP, expressed her appreciation for the partnerships with the Village of Arthur, Arthur Police, Douglas County Sheriff, IT and highway, the park board, Douglas County MRC volunteers and the Millikin University nursing students. “Because of everyone
working together and sharing resources, we had a great turnout and it went very smoothly,” Minor said. “We are hopeful to have another one soon in Tuscola for the Eastern part of the county to again be accessible to all of the residents.” There were 101 tested at the mobile clinic with five positive for Douglas County and two for Moultrie County, Stacy Shonkwiler, RN, MSN Director of Nursing at the Douglas County Health Department reported.
