ELLSWORTH -- Pierce County will keep the Ellsworth COVID-19 community testing site operating weekly on Mondays at Pierce Pepin Cooperative Services for the next three months. The new hours for this site will be mornings only, however, from 9 a.m. to noon, the Public Health Service said in a news release.
Health officials encourage community members to use this site for a free COVID-19 test if they are experiencing any symptoms, have been exposed to COVID-19 or recently have traveled.
As of March 12, less than 10% of Pierce County residents have been fully vaccinated. Vaccine supply is getting more robust every week, but it is not yet to the level that would allow everyone who wants a vaccine to get one, according toAZ Snyder, Public Health director.
