HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Asymptomatic COVID-19 testing continues thanks to approval from Reno County Commissioners this week.

"We'll be doing the testing the next two Saturdays at the Hutchinson Clinic," said Karen Hammersmith with the Reno County Health Department. "It's a drive through from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m."

The testing at the 2107 building will take up to 250 swabs. The numbers of tests to be administered once the testing goes out into the county is still to be determined.

"We're also still working on getting people to work at that," Hammersmith said. "We're reaching out to our community partners for medical personnel to help at those sites."

Because of needing to coordinate availability, the times and dates of Reno County clinics outside of Hutchinson are still being firmed up. We will post those when they are made available.
