MILWAUKEE || MILWAUKEE COUNTY NO APPOINTMENT - FREE - WALK-UP AND DRIVE-UP TESTING.

For the past week, high numbers of individuals are continuing to show up for testing due to flexible hours - 8am-8pm, FREE, walk-up, and drive-up availability of COVID-N19 tests.  INCREASED communication about the sites at Midtown and Umos/Chase has helped make the difference.

The two (2) sites are called the National Guard sites.

• Milwaukee County: One team tested nearly 1,000 staff and inmates at the Milwaukee County House of Corrections, and a second-team completed more than 500 tests at a local meat processing facility on April 28. A third team completed testing at a food processing facility in Milwaukee May 4 and collected more than 450 specimens. Another team collected more than 100 specimens at a meat-processing facility in Milwaukee May 8.  Additionally, one team collected over 160 specimens on May 12 at the Felmer O. Chaney and Marshall E. Sherrer Department of Corrections facilities.
