Douglas Public Health Network will have another COVID-19 testing clinic Friday at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.
Residents that will be tested were identified by their health care provider, as a patient that is symptomatic, and in need of testing. They will present their test order at the clinic, where their specimen will be collected and then flown to Quest Lab for processing. Results will be sent back in about a week to the physician or health care provider that ordered the test. Those tested are asked to self-quarantine at home and to continue to quarantine for 72 hours after symptoms subside.
