Local Testing Continues
Free COVID-19 testing at C.K. Newsome Center will be extended through November.
And Deaconess will continue its drive-through testing at their Downtown and Lynch locations.
Our Medical Advisory Group recommends testing if you currently have symptoms, or if you’ve had direct exposure to a person with COVID-19. If you’ve had a direct exposure to a person with COVID-19, wait at least 2-5 days from the exposure date to test. Waiting 2 days or longer allows time for the virus to become detectable.
Indiana Releases COVID-19 Vaccine Allocation Plan
The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) released a preliminary COVID-19 Vaccine Allocation Plan.
A draft of the plan can be viewed here.
The Reopen Evansville Task Force will continue to work with state and local partners to ensure the implementation of an effective COVID-19 vaccine strategy in our community.
Sincerely,
Steve Schaefer.
Deputy Mayor-Evansville
