McLean County s largest coronavirus testing facility for much of the last year, the Interstate Center in Bloomington, will close its testing site at the end of July, and the area s largest vaccination site also has set a timetable for shutting down.
Private health care providers say they are ready to continue the public health response.
At its peak last November, the Interstate Center was conducting more than 1,000 coronavirus tests per day, according to data provided by the McLean County Emergency Management Agency and compiled by WGLT. At the time, the county s positivity rate was in double digits. New cases were coming in by the hundreds daily.
