Polk County Testing Site To Close Due To Severe Temperatures

Polk County Testing Site To Close Due To Severe Temperatures

 

 

Des Moines, IA- The Polk County COVID-19 Testing location at 2309 Euclid Ave (River Place) will be closed Wednesday, January 19 through Friday, January 21 due to extreme cold temperatures. The site opened on Monday, January 17, and has served several hundred residents seeking testing.

We regret that we must take this action at this time as there is clearly a demand for COVID testing with the surge in Omicron cases. However, it is unsafe to keep staff outside in the predicted dangerously low temperatures for an extended period of time. We hope to get the site reopened as quickly as possible.

The only testing site impacted is this drive-through location. Please visit PolkCountyIowa.gov for testing site availability.
