Webster County Holding Drive-Through COVID-19 Testing Clinic

The Webster County COVID-19 Task Force has organized a drive-through COVID-19 mobile testing clinic.

That clinic will start this Friday, May 15, 2020, starting at 9:00am, at the Webster County Fairgrounds, 614 N. Marshall, Marshfield.

Testing is by appointment and doctor’s order/referral only; however, between the hour of 10:00 and 11:00am, walk-ins will be accepted.

You can read more from the Webster County Health Department below…

“If you do not have a primary care provider (PCP), you may call any of the Marshfield clinics of CoxHealth, Jordan Valley, Mercy, or OCH Wellpointe to get signed up as a new patient and then get an order/referral. Also, as a walk-in, there will be a provider available on-site to assess, screen, and provide the order for testing.

If you are wanting to be tested, you will need to speak with your PCP to get an order/referral. The order must be faxed to the Marshfield Jorday Valley office at 417-859-2432 prior to testing day. The COVID-19 nasal swab will be the only test available.

As part of the National and State Recovery plans more testing capacity is the goal in order to help the furtherance of re-opening our state and determining trends as they occur. With the relaxation on criteria for testing, as well as the addition of new related symptoms, those who have one or more of the following symptoms would be eligible for testing:

Fever, 100.4 or greater

Sore throat

Vomiting

Cough

Nausea

Loss of taste

Diarrhea

Loss of appetite

Repeated shaking with chills

Muscle pain

Chills

Headache

Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

At the mobile test site, you will be tested from the convenience of your car by competent medical professionals. You should bring a picture ID, and minors should be accompanied by a parent/guardian. If you have insurance, please have that information readily available. At this time, there is no charge for the nasal swab test for those who are uninsured. The lab is waiving the test fee and billing the government under the CARES Act until funding is no longer available.”
