NEENAH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — There will be more opportunities to get tested for COVID-19 this week courtesy of ThedaCare.
The healthcare provider has added more testing sites across Northeast Wisconsin, with multiple options available through Friday.
While vaccinations are a step in the right direction, ThedaCare encourages testing to continue to prevent additional positive cases, according to a news release.
“Testing gives health systems insight to the breadth and depth of those infected in our communities, and help us better understand the spread of the virus,” said Dr. Mark Cockley, ThedaCare Chief Clinical Officer, in the release. “If you have symptoms, even if mild, please protect loved ones, friends, neighbors and coworkers and get tested. Testing will help you follow CDC recommendations for appropriate isolation, which will reduce spread and improve progress to the end the pandemic.”
