State of Iowa announces new Test Iowa locations as testing criteria expands

DES MOINES – Friday, the Office of Governor Kim Reynolds announced new Test Iowa locations will open next week in Marshalltown, Sioux Center, and Council Bluffs.

A schedule of sites, locations and times can be found here.

Test Iowa is a statewide initiative to expand COVID-19 testing. Testing criteria now allows any Iowan to be tested, regardless of symptoms or potential exposure to the virus. To be tested, Iowans must first complete an assessment at www.testiowa.com and schedule an appointment at a test site.

Test Iowa’s mobile testing model makes it possible to quickly operationalize a temporary test site in a community where virus activity is increasing or access to testing is limited. Testing is rapidly scaled up to identify positive cases, conduct contact tracing, and determine scope of the virus in the community. Over time when test volume decreases, sites are moved to other communities where there is a need.

The Test Iowa site currently in Sioux City will close when testing concludes at 6 p.m. on Friday, May 22. The site opened on May 4. Testing remains in Sioux City through local health care providers as well as the new Test Iowa Site in Sioux Center.

will they be using trumps faulty tests that record false negatives???

Trump designed and manufactured his own tests? That’s impressive you moron.

The business employees should all be inexpensively tested if anyone is suspected. By a mobile testing team. If positive then self quarantine for 14 days. Missing the pay will be a problem. And in order to do this the state needs more stimulus money. As do the people.

Get a job and you won’t have to beg anymore!
