(WHBL) – During its twice-weekly drive-through testing conducted at the ADRC parking lot on Forest Avenue in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin National Guard members have now taken over 1,000 samples since the program was reinstituted on December 11th.
Teams can collect up to 450 specimens each day during the sessions, but that capacity hasn’t been reached since the local pandemic peak was experienced this past November.
Those wishing to be tested can go to the ADRC between 10 AM and 6 PM each Wednesday and Friday through March 10th, and are encouraged to register in advance at COVID-19 Wisconsin Connect, however that’s not required.
Statewide since April, over one million specimens have been collected by the National Guard.
