Demand for COVID-19 Testing Increases Operations at Town Toyota Center

East Wenatchee, WA – Starting Monday, July 18, Chelan-Douglas Health District (CDHD) will expand its limited COVID-19 testing schedule to daily operations, running Monday through Friday from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm through July.

‍

The change in operations is due to an increase in demand for COVID-19 testing and CDHD’s effort to support local healthcare workforce. Local healthcare organizations have reported an influx of symptomatic individuals seeking in-person COVID-19 testing during the current COVID-19 surge, increasing potential exposure to healthcare employees.
