Boone Memorial offers drive-thru testing for COVID-19
In an effort to make COVID-19 testing more easily accessible, Boone Memorial Hospital is offering a drive-thru testing site.
"We want to ensure our community has easy access to testing," said hospital CEO, Virgil Underwood. "It's our intent to make the process convenient and simple. We also realize that the probability for cases to rise after people return from vacation is a concern. Therefore, we want to remain ready for a potential influx of coronavirus cases. The easier people can receive testing, the better," he explained. "People who drive-thru for testing don't even have to get out of their vehicle."
