May 25, 2020
Teton County Health Department will be hosting a COVID-19 mass testing event on Thursday, May 28th from 9AM to 7PM at the Teton County Fairgrounds. The event is for anyone who lives OR works in Teton County, Wyoming. Asymptomatic (experiencing no symptoms) individuals will be tested.
"Testing is an important mechanism to know what is going on in our community: the more people we test, the better snapshot we will have of disease spread. This event will help us to identify positive individuals (even individuals without symptoms) for COVID-19, so that we can quickly conduct contact tracing to help identify their close contacts and slow the spread of the disease. Please join us for this testing event, and support our efforts to keep our whole community safe and healthy as restrictions ease in the Statewide Health Orders."
The testing will be held at the Teton County Fairgrounds. Enter on the recycling side of the fairgrounds, either via Snow King Avenue or Flat Creek Drive.
Individuals with insurance are asked to bring their insurance cards. Health officials say they will be able to bill most insurances. For those who are under or uninsured, there will be vouchers available for free testing.
This event is being hosted by Teton County Fire/EMS and Emerg-a-care.
