Listen "Barriers to Testing for "Close Contacts" of COVID cases in Boone County "
Episode Synopsis
Host Dr. Elizabeth Allemann explains a change in testing access announced over the weekend from the Boone County Department of Health and Human Services. They will no longer provide test orders for CDC-defined "close contacts" of known positive COVID cases that live outside of the infected person's household. Instead, these "close contacts" will need to seek their own test orders through a primary care physician or a telehealth visit via urgent care.
