Chestnut Health Systems To Expand COVID-19 Testing Into McLean County

Chestnut Health Systems announced it is partnering with the McLean County Health Department to expand COVID-19 testing into rural McLean County, Illinois by offering 10 mobile testing sites in Colfax, LeRoy, and Heyworth during the next two months. Funding comes from a $2.8 million state grant, which also is covering increased contact tracing, meaning interviews with and advice for people who have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

Nine health department employees staffed the test site, taking down visitor information, instructing them on how to do the nasal self-swab test . . .
