New Covid-19 testing site planned for Huntingburg

A temporary Covid-19 testing site will be set up at the Huntingburg Event Center, 110 E. 14th Street, beginning December 29, 2020.

The Indiana Department of Health and the Dubois County Health Department are partnering to hold a free clinic for COVID-19 testing. This is a temporary testing site that is in addition to the current location at 400 S Clay St. in Jasper.  

The clinic will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, December 29 and Wednesday, December 30 and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the Thursday, December 31. It will be closed on January 1, 2021, but will reopen for its last day of operation on January 2 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Testing will be available to all members of the public regardless of symptoms. Children as young as two years of age can be tested with parental consent.

“With the surge in positive cases in Dubois County it is extremely important that we do everything possible to get this virus under control,” said Dr. Ted Waflart, Dubois County Health Officer. “With an increase of those in our community being tested this will aid us to identify sources and close contacts. We look forward to working with the Indiana Department of Health and very much appreciate their partnering with us in this effort.”

Hoosiers will not be charged for testing and insurance is not required. If you have private health insurance, please bring that information with you. This clinic will be for walk-ins only and will serve everyone on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Those tested will receive results in one to three days but could be longer depending on the number of tests at the lab.
