FLATHEAD RESERVATION – The Lake County – CSKT Unified Command Center will be offering all residents of the Mission Valley a free COVID-19 test at four sites over four days.
Residents of Lake County and/or the Flathead Indian Reservation are invited to attend the drive-through event, which will be the largest testing event in Montana. Testing at the event runs all day, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The four locations include: Arlee Celebration Grounds on June 17; Salish Kootenai College in Pablo on June 18; Polson High School parking lot on June 19; Elmo Standing Arrow Celebration Grounds on June 20.
While times may vary, it’s estimated that the drive-through process will take no more than 30 minutes. Results will come in about a week. Testing data is one of the best tools for the medical community to keep everyone safe from the coronavirus. Testing for COVID-19 is simple with a quick nasal swab. The test is in accordance with Governor Steve Bullock’s goal to test 60,000 Montanans a month.
This test will show if you are infected. Note: This is not an anti-body test that reveals if you’ve ever had the virus; this test shows if you currently have COVID-19. Those who are tested will need to provide contact information to receive results. At this time there is no age limit to test. Minors must have a parent or legal guardian consent for testing. Forms will be available at each site. For more questions, call 406-275-2779 or email info@ucc-jic.com
Protect your family, protect yourself and protect your community. Get a test and help slow the spread.
