Community-based Testing Sites in Green Bay, Madison

Frederica Freyberg:

Despite the state Supreme Court ruling, work on the front lines continues and the number of people able to get tested for coronavirus is on the rise. The Wisconsin National Guard now has 25 collection teams, including this one in Green Bay. More than 20 Wisconsin counties are benefiting from the increased testing at community-based sites, with guard members collecting nearly 25,000 samples. By midweek at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, the National Guard had taken more than 1,000 samples. 1600 troops are now serving in direct support of the state’s COVID-19 response.
