BLOOMINGTON – With increases in COVID-19 cases and the recent holiday season, many people are looking for testing options locally.
The McLean County Health Department has listed local testing options on its website. Those can be found here.
MCHD Administrator Jessica McKnight says testing is just one tool to help reduce transmission.
“We are testing at a good rate but we can always do more,” said McKnight. “We’re not always capturing all of the infection that is in our community. We know we have high community transmission, we know we are seeing a lot of cases, and we can also assume there is more undetected out there.”
According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, over 700,000 tests have been performed in McLean County.
