The Hamilton County Health Department’s COVID testing site at Alstom will be closed Wednesdays and Sundays beginning the week of March 1, 2021. The site will continue operations 5 days a week on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays-Saturdays from 10:00AM-2:30PM.
“With the increase in both the demand and supply of the COVID-19 vaccine, we have remained flexible in our efforts and redirected staff from the Alstom testing site to our vaccination sites on Wednesdays,” said Health Department Administrator Becky Barnes. “If the situation changes and local need outpaces the 5 days a week testing we currently offer, the Health Department will add additional resources back to testing. We encourage residents to continue to seek testing when needed, by utilizing the site at Alstom, or another community testing site offered in the community.”
