San Juan Basin Public Health has updated its COVID-19 community testing site hours of operation at the overflow parking lot of the Durango Public Library on the corner of East Third Avenue and 20th Street, effective Wednesday.
The new hours of operation are from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday and Saturdays. The testing site closes promptly at 4:30 p.m., so it is recommended that those needing testing arrive as early as possible.
Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms or those who believe they may have been exposed either through known contact or general community interaction should get tested at SJBPH’s free community testing site. No appointment is needed.
The heath department says testing is important in fighting the spread of the virus, and it therefore wants to make it as convenient and accessible as possible for residents to be tested.
“SJBPH understands how challenging the COVID-19 pandemic is for everyone, and agency staff sincerely appreciate the efforts of all community members to wear face coverings, social distance, stay home if sick and wash hands well to contain the spread of the virus,” the agency said in a news release.
SJBPH reminds those with COVID-19 symptoms or those who are concerned they may have been exposed either through known contact or general community interaction, to get tested.
