GUMBORO, DE- Tricia King expanded her parents farm from Bishopville, Maryland to a new location in Gumboro, Delaware, where she continues to practice their sustainable farming methods. Check out this week’s Live Green with the 6 Kings Farm.
6 Kings Farm in Gumboro, Delaware knows the perks of working with pollinators. While pollinators, like honeybees, fertilize crops across the country, they are also producing about 40 billion dollars worth of product in the United States alone, according to researchers.
“It’s really important for us to work with pollinators because they are key in maintaining our ecosystems, habitats for wildlife and for ourselves,” explained Tricia King.
TidalHealth is now providing rapid COVID-19 testing for symptomatic patients in Sussex County.
Rapid tests are being offered at TidalHealth primary and immediate care offices in Georgetown, Seaford and Laurel. Results for rapid tests generally take about 15 minutes to determine, though the full appointment will likely be longer.
“We are pleased to be able to provide expanded access to patients for COVID-19 testing in our offices so we can connect them with these treatment options early in the disease, helping to keep them out of the hospital, said TidalHealth Vice President Karin DiBari.
TidalHealth s rapid tests are only for people who are showing symptoms of COVID-19. They are not intended for people who, for example, need a test before traveling.
