Family Health Center CEO and president, Denise Crawford, answered questions during a Facebook Live video Wendesday. She said all people with symptoms of the coronavirus should consider being tested. Symptoms include a fever, a dry cough, and difficulty breathing.
People who would like to be tested must be pre-screened over the phone by the Family Health Center. You can set up a pre-screening appointment by calling the FHC COVID-19 Testing Hotline at (269) 488-0804.
The FHC also released an instructional video covering how to get tested at its rolling test sites. You can view that here.
