This community health service will be offered from 10 a.m.-noon Tuesdays and Thursdays in the parking lot of Central Louisiana Technical College. Professionals from Natchitoches Regional Medical Center will conduct the screenings and testing.
Community members who have been exposed to the virus or who believe they may have symptoms will be asked to remain in their cars as they receive screening. If, after the screening, the professionals recommend testing, the NRMC associates will do so at a testing station as part of the drive through process and test results will be available in approximately four days.
