Posted By Kali Cozyris on Tue, Sep 1, 2020 at 9:58 AM
Starting on Wednesday, Sept. 2, the Yurok Tribe will offer drive-through COVID-19 tests in the Redwood Hotel Casino parking lot.
In a press release sent out Aug. 31, the Yurok Tribe announced the free tests will be offered every Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. until the end of September. The test is available to tribal and non-tribal residents who are not experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
“We know that a certain percentage of COVID-19 carriers do not experience any symptoms, but still transmit the illness. Taking the test is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of the virus,” said Yurok Public Health Officer Angie Brown. “In terms of detecting the disease, the type of test that we are offering is proven to be one of the most reliable forms of testing.”
