Today was the first day of the mass COVID-19 testing clinic at the DuBois Regional Airport.
Tracy Zents, Director of Emergency Services for Jefferson County, said this drive through clinic is available to anyone who wants to get a COVID-19 test.
“All they have to do is have their driver’s license and if they have insurance to bring their insurance card to help with the lab fees for processing. If they don’t have any of that they’re not going to be turned away,” he said.
Zents said the Department of Health contracted AMI Expeditionary Health Services to conduct the clinic.
