The Resch Center in Ashwaubenon is a now a drive-up testing site.
The goal is to test workers at different facilities, including long-term care, group homes, and plants.
Deputy Secretary Julie Willems Van Dijk of the state Department of Health and Human Services says the sites work well, because health care staff can stay in the same protective equipment for an entire day. She says that’s a better use of that equipment, instead of having workers at health care facilities need to put it on for a shorter amount of time.
People need to be sent to the Resch Center, and have a doctor’s note to get tested.
Claire Paprocki of Brown County Public Health says they’re setting up the location, in hopes of preventing outbreaks like the recent ones at three meat plants. Nearly 600 of the county’s cases are connected to them.
