Mobile COVID-19 testing is still in trials but here’s when it could go Whatcom-wide

Whatcom County could take COVID-19 testing on the road as early as Monday, Aug. 24, although details are still being finalized and the exact start date is still being determined.

Field testing has been occurring since Monday, Aug. 10, as part of the effort to bring mobile testing to different parts of the county. The goal is to make it easy for people to get tested for the new coronavirus by offering testing in a broader geographic area and by allowing people to get tested without first having to go to a doctor and get a referral.
