More state-run COVID-19 community testing sites to close in upcoming weeks
COLORADO (KRDO) -- The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is set to close additional COVID-19 testing sites by the end of June.
According to the state, these closures are part of Colorado's Roadmap to Moving Forward.
“Currently, the state is processing approximately 2,200 tests per day. Under the operational plan beginning July 1, this would represent a little more than 25% of the 8,000 tests per day planned capacity. We feel confident in this transition, especially with the ability to surge to 17,000 tests per day should we need to,” said Scott Bookman, COVID-19 Incident Commander, CDPHE, in a press release. “CDPHE prioritized location, equity, and site traffic in order to keep the testing sites with the most utility available to Coloradans.”
The state says diagnostic testing, treatment, and vaccination services are now more accessible through health care providers. Additionally, COVID-19 testing is available through multiple federal programs.
