As part of a statewide initiative to get all Oklahoman's who require a screening for Covid-19, a drive-thru clinic is coming to Nowata.

 

The site will be at the First Baptist Church of Nowata on Tuesday, April 14th, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Nowata County Emergency Manager Laurie Summers says that there are just under 100 tests available. Summers says she is in support of the clinic. 

 

The tests are free, but you must be a resident of Oklahoma, must either be displaying symptoms of Covid-19 such as a cough or fever or have been in contact with someone who has tested positive.

 

Only one test will be administered per vehicle. District One Commissioner Burke LaRue wants only those who truly need a test to come forward.

It's estimated that those who test positive will be notified within 48 hours.
