Kroger news release:<\/p>\n

Drive-Through COVID Testing Returns<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(May 5, 2020) – Free COVID testing returns to Fort Wayne, this week. The partnership of Kroger Health and the Allen County Department of Health will resume the drive-through service on Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n

May 7 and May 8
\n8:30 A.M. – 5:30 P.M.
\n Bishop Dwenger High School
\n1300 E. Washington Center Road<\/p>\n

The first week of testing served 668 people in just two days. Kroger Health expects hundreds more to seek testing this week. <\/p>\n

The health department and the Allen County Office of Homeland Security secured a site to expand the service across the county. Next week, and for the remainder of the month, free testing will shift to southern Allen County.<\/p>\n

May 14-15, May 21-22, May 28-29
\n8:30 A.M. – 5:30 P.M.
\nPublic Safety Academy \/ Ivy Tech South Campus
\n7602 Patriot Crossing<\/p>\n

To participate, people will register at: http:\/\/krogerhealth.com\/covidtesting<\/a>. The system\u2019s virtual screening tool will determine eligibility based on guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) plus recommendations from state and local specialists. <\/p>\n

The drive-through testing location has a self-administered nasal swab that must be ordered and observed by a provider. Kroger determined this testing methodology is beneficial as it increases the number of tests that can be provided while conserving available personal protective equipment.<\/p>\n

Those eligible can select an appointment time in their area. Then, registrants will receive an email confirmation with pre-appointment paperwork. Each patient should have a photo ID at the testing site and should leave car windows rolled up until a healthcare practitioner approaches the car and advises the patient when to roll down the window.<\/p>\n

Results are expected within approximately 72 hours of testing. The service is supported with laboratory services provided by eTrueNorth, a contractor of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
