The Indiana State Department of Health began partnering with Marshall County Health Department officials to hold a free drive-thru testing clinic in Plymouth beginning on July 15. The testing site availability has been extended to continue accommodating the needs of our local community. Anyone over the age of 2 years old can be tested whether or not they have symptoms as long as they are an Indiana resident. Please bring a state or city issued ID.
The additional COVID-19 testing site is at the Plymouth Wesleyan Church at 11203 South Michigan Road in Plymouth.
Testing will be available from Tuesday, July 28th through Saturday, August 1st from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm daily and Tuesday, August 4th through Saturday, August 8th from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm daily.
As you know, Governor Holcomb mandated the required use of face coverings starting Monday, July 27th and included in his Order the following mandate: “If the applicable data on the virus does not improve or continues to worsen in our State, there may be little choice but to reverse course and return to a prior stage in our reopening plan for Indiana.”
Marshall County Health Department Administrator Ashley Garcia said in the release, “Please fellow Marshall County residents – follow best practices in order to prevent the risk for re-established restrictions. Our economy needs to move forward, and our residents need to remain healthy. To date, Marshall County has 712 confirmed positive cases, and 19 of our community members have lost their lives to this virus. These are our friends and loved ones. Follow best practices to keep not just yourself but others safe and to keep our local businesses up and running.”
The Marshall County Health Department will continue to provide updates as changes occur. Please follow their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/MarshallCountyHD/ or go to the Indiana State Department of Health’s website at www.isdh.in.gov/coronavirus for up-to-date information on COVID-19.
