Pop-Up COVID-19 Testing at Muskingum County Fairgrounds
ZANESVILLE, OH – A Pop-Up COVID-19 Testing Site was at the Muskingum County Fairgrounds today. They opened up at 9:30 this morning and ran until 3:30 in the afternoon.
The Joint Unified Command is in charge of the organization locally and they partnered with the Ohio National Guard for the swabbing. Health Commissioner Corey Hamilton shares why they decided to host a pop-up testing site.
“We were seeing a really high volume of testing running through Genesis First Care, and the Emergency Department, Hometown Urgent Care, Shrivers Pharmacy, our testing sites here in the county. And it seemed like people were desiring to be tested more frequently and so we brought this event in to take some of the strain off of those testing sites.”
