Free COVID-19 testing offered in Crivitz

MARINETTE, Wis. — In an effort to increase local testing capacity for COVID-19, Marinette County Public Health in conjunction with Marinette County Emergency Management has requested assistance from the Wisconsin National Guard. The National Guard will be providing drive-through style COVID-19 nasal swab testing in Crivitz through Thursday, May 14, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. each day.

The event will be located at the Marinette County Highway Shop, County Highway W, in the village of Crivitz. No appointment is needed, and testing will be done free of charge.

The test site will be open even to asymptomatic people until the kits are gone. Testing is available to all Wisconsin residents and employees of Wisconsin businesses and provided on a first-come first-served basis. Generally, test results are known within 48 hours of samples being submitted.

Due to the unknown amount of interest, prepare for potential wait times. Participants are to remain in their vehicles at all times. No restroom facilities will be available onsite. Please plan accordingly. Participants will be asked to provide a current address, identify county of residence, a phone number, and answer screening questions. National Guard members will be doing the testing. They will be in uniform and wearing personal protective equipment, including gowns, masks, and gloves while conducting tests. Participants are asked to please have patience, drive with caution, and follow directions.

Contact tracing of positive cases will be used to stop further spread.

If you have questions or immediate needs related to COVID-19, call 2-1-1 or text COVID19 to 211211. For up-to-date information, please go to the Marinette County website.
