A free community testing clinic will be held on August 24 from 11 AM -7 PM in Boyceville, WI. 

Any Wisconsin resident 5 years and older who is currently sick with any of these symptoms: 
fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficult breathing, chills, repeated shaking with chills,
muscle pain, headache, sore throat, fatigue or new loss of taste or smell, are eligible for nasal
swab testing. Following testing, people should return directly to their home and isolate themselves until they receive their test results and further guidance from public health. Isolation means stay home, separate yourself from other people in your home, and wash your hands often.

People will be notified of their test results using an online portal for negative results and by 
phone for positive results within about 3-4 days.

The testing site will be at Tiffany Creek Elementary School, 161 East St, Boyceville, WI. The event will run from 
11:00am - 7:00pm or until testing kits run out. Online reservations are encouraged and can be 
made at register.covidconnect.wi.gov. After you register, you will be given a QR code for the 
event. If you are unable to register online before the event, a National Guard member will help 
you register at the event.

If you are interested in being tested please check the Dunn County Health Department Facebook Page before leaving to be sure that testing supplies are still available. Testing will run until 7 PM or until supplies run out. 

Full details about the event are available in the documents attached below.
