WILLIAMSON, W.Va. — The Mingo County Health Department has set its next drive-through coronavirus testing event.
According to a statement from the health department, drive-through testing will be conducted beginning at 9 a.m. on Friday, April 17 at the Larry Joe Harless Community Center in Gilbert. The center is located at 202 Larry Joe Harless Drive.
The tests will be administered free of charge to the patient.
According to the statement, like last week’s event in Williamson, testing will be conducted following a pre-screening conducted by phone.
