Health Update: Continued Testing at Community-Based Testing Site

Grays Harbor County Public Health and the Washington Army National Guard has extended the drive-through COVID-19 testing site until Friday, May 1, 2020.

With the support of the Washington State Public Health Lab, we will expand testing to include all persons age 18 and older who have symptoms of COVID-19 (fever [subjective or measured] cough and/or shortness of breath, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat and/or new loss of taste or smell).  We are expanding eligibility to take full advantage of the increased testing capacity afforded by the support of the Army National Guard.

At this time we are NOT changing Health Order 2020-04 other than adding the additional CDC symptoms listed above and announcing the continued test site operations through May 1, 2020. Hospitals and providers should continue to provide testing to the priority populations identified in the order.  We will adjust the Health Order when the supply chain can support a sustained increase in the number of tests provided by local systems.

Please instruct patients who meet these criteria to call the Public Health COVID-19 call center. Call center staff will screen patients and schedule a testing appointment.
