Staff report
OHIO VALLEY – Gallia County has now reported a total of one hundred COVID-19 cases since March, while long-term contextual testing sites are planned for Meigs and Mason counties.
On Thursday, the Gallia County Health Department reported six other cases of viruses that were already active, raising the total number of county cases from March to one hundred (97 confirmed, 3 probable). One of the six cases is similar to existing cases, which come with active outbreaks, according to the Department of Health.
A COVID-19 pop-up verification site will be held at the Meigs County Fairgrounds on August 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This check is presented free of charge and is open to the public, with no residency requirement. No appointments are required for the event; however, the Meigs County Health Department asks participants to complete the mandatory bureaucracy before arriving. The bureaucracy will be available in www.meigs-fitness.com/covid-19. People who wish to be controlled will not want to be referred through a fitness professional. Trial amounts may be limited, so this will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
Contextual verification will be a driving site, which means that other people will remain in your vehicle during the process. If a user arrives by bicycle, on foot or by another means of transport, the check will not be denied. Anyone who enters the fairgrounds to check it will want a mask. For updates and more information, visit www.meigs-health.com/covid-19 or visit @MeigsHealthDept on Twitter.
The free COVID-19 will take place on Friday, August 28 and Saturday, August 29 at Point Pleasant Jr./Sr. High school. He’ll take position from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Both days.
Tests will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis. Proof of insurance is not required. Checks must be delivered to everyone else in Mason County. Participants are asked to bring identification, such as a driver’s license or evidence of address, to help them review the results.
