TriCounty Health Department is doing their part to keep local healthcare providers up to date on the Coronavirus situation around the state and is providing them with the most up-to-date testing protocols. “Testing for COVID-19 is only available in our communities through an order issued by a healthcare provider, as criteria and risk factors are met,” shares TriCounty Health. TriCounty Health Officer Jordan Mathis wants the community to know what to watch for. “If you are experiencing fever, dry cough, or shortness of breath, call your healthcare provider,” shares Mathis. “Due to a national shortage of testing supplies, individuals not experiencing symptoms will not be eligible for testing at this time. If you think you have been exposed but are not experiencing symptoms stay home and isolate yourself. If you experience symptoms, call your healthcare provider.”
