COVID-19 testing opportunity in Greenfield

Dade County is seeing a large increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in the surrounding area and because of this, they have asked to be included in a COVID-19 testing opportunity performed by the Missouri National Guard in cooperation with the Missouri State Department of Health and Senior Services and local county health departments from across the state. This testing opportunity is for any resident of Missouri, with or without symptoms and there is no cost to be tested. Individuals being tested will not need a physician’s order to be tested.

Testing will be held Wednesday, July 1, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the Main Street Baptist Church, 513 Crestview Street, Greenfield.

This will be a drive through test clinic so participants will not have to leave their vehicle. Individuals may register for an appointment by visiting https://health.mo.gov/communitytest or they may call the COVID Hotline at 877-435-8411 for assistance in registering.

The test consists of a PCR nasopharyngeal swab.

Again, testing is free and open to any Missouri resident. Walk-ins at the site are accepted if appointment slots are available.
