Gritman Medical Center announced that its drive-through COVID-19 testing site will close after today, with available testing transitioning to the hospital.  

The closure comes about due to the increase of availability in testing through other pharmacies in the area. Gritman stated that this has decreased the demand for testing at their mobile location.  

Gritman stated that it will continue to look into COVID-19 positivity rates and its care unit will also continue to treat patients for COVID-19 related illnesses.  

Those looking for testing can ask their primary care providers or can schedule a visit with Gritman through their page.  

With the decreasing rates of COVID-19, Gritman has halted its bi-weekly COVID-19 updates as well.
