GETTYSBURG, Pa. The Pennsylvania Department of Health announced that, beginning today, regional drive-through and indoor walk-in testing clinics will be held in five counties, including one in Gettysburg, Adams County.
The counties with testing sites will change weekly over the next six weeks, so that 61 counties will eventually be covered by pop-up testing sites over a 12-week period, Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine said in a press release.
Testing sites are also opening in Carbon, McKean, Snyder, and Washington counties, Levine said.
“Over the past several weeks, we have seen a rapid increase of positive case counts reaching record-high levels, which gives us significant cause for concern,” Levine said. “In fact, every county now has a positivity-rate greater than five percent, which is alarming. In addition, 14 counties have percent positivity above 20 percent.”
Gov. Wolf and Sec. Levine today released a status update from the COVID-19 Early Warning Monitoring System Dashboard, comparing the period of Jan. 8 – 14 to the previous seven days and highlighting an increase of 40,088 cases.
