A total of 717 people were tested for COVID-19 Wednesday at a drive-up event at the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department. The testing event was held by KCHD and the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority.
“Thanks to everyone who came out and waited in line to be tested,” said Dr. Sherri Young, health officer and executive director of the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department. “Testing a large number of people in our community gives us a better picture of what we’re facing. I’m glad that people are continuing to take advantage of our drive-up events.”
The next drive-up testing event is planned for 2 to 7 p.m. Friday, July 10, at Shawnee Sports Complex, One Salango Way in Dunbar. No appointments are needed for drive-up events.
People can also schedule an appointment to be tested at KCHD’s clinic by calling 304-348-1088.
