Truman Memorial Veterans' Hospital, MU Health Care and Boone Hospital began Monday, May 4, starting in Centralia. <br /><br />The goal is to increase testing for individuals that currently are not able to access existing testing sites (like the current Columbia drive-thru testing sites) as well as more rural settings and those at higher risk like congregate settings. Once established, this joint initiative will expand to additional surrounding areas. This mobile testing collaborative will conduct testing
in the event of any symptom(s) of acute respiratory infection (fever, new cough, new shortness of breath, new myalgias, chills, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell). No other criteria will be needed for testing at these events.<br /><br />Testing Schedule:<br />Wednesday, May 6, 12 - 4 p.m. - Hallsville High School (421 MO-124, Hallsville, MO 65255)<br />Friday, May 8, 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. - Ashland Baptist Church (203 E. Broadway, Ashland, MO 65010)<br />Monday, May 11, 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. - Turning Point (702 Wilkes Blvd., Columbia, MO 65201)<br />Wednesday, May 13, 12 - 4 p.m. - Paquin Towers (1201 Paquin St., Columbia, MO 65201)<br /><br /><strong>Changes to City services</strong><br />No additional changes at this time.<br /><br /><br />Official information from the City of Columbia and Columbia/Boone County Public Health and Human Services (PHHS) can be found at <a href="https://www.como.gov/coronavirus/">CoMo.gov/Coronavirus</a>.
