Covid has NOT gone away! I strongly disagree with this decision to stop testing.for Covid. We need to ahead of this as much as possible, not play catch-up!!
As severe as Covid can be, using the rapid testing kits at Urgent Care, ER’s, Doctor’s offices, Pharmacies, & all county facilities could perhaps save patients’ lives Even if it means asking the patient to bring in their own, Free Covid-19 Rapid testing Kit to use for the test.
