Patients are simply asked to arrive at their preferred testing site to receive a COVID-19 test. Due to the high volume of tests being administered, patients are asked to be prepared to wait two to three hours for services.

Jones-Powers, CEO of Fetter. “We are thankful for the opportunity to continue serving our community and we encourage all citizens to continue social distancing and wearing face coverings to reduce the spread of COVID-19.”
