Governor Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services have announced expanded community testing sites and an on-line interactive map of those sites to help people with COVID-19 symptoms to be tested. DHS will update the map daily to reflect new mass community testing sites and sites that will be set up specifically to address outbreak areas in the state.

“We’ve made great progress in expanding our testing capacity these last few weeks, and now we’re taking the next step to help connect Wisconsinites who have symptoms of COVID-19 to testing sites in their communities,” said Gov. Evers. “Everyone in the state who needs a test should be tested, and through the Badger Bounce Back Plan, we’re taking a comprehensive approach to make sure that’s the case.” 

“To turn the dial in Wisconsin, we have to test everyone with symptoms,” said DHS Secretary-designee Andrea Palm. “From there, we move to contact tracing and getting those exposed to the virus into quarantine. Anyone with symptoms that include cough, shortness of breath, fever, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or new loss of taste or smell please call your doctor and get tested.”
