Wisconsin National Guard specimen collection teams are supporting local health departments and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services effort to increase the state’s COVID-19 testing capacity. So far, they have a cumulative total gathered for COVID-19 testing approached 350,000 as teams continue to operate across Wisconsin in mobile testing sites since early April. A Wisconsin National Guard specimen collection team will be at the Cable Community Center on Friday August 14, 2020 from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. After collecting the specimens at each site, the test kits are sent to a lab for analysis. Individual citizens receive their results via a phone call from their local health department or a state call center within three-to-seven days following the test. If you feel any symptoms or you want to make sure you aren’t a carrier, be safe and get tested.
