Coronavirus Mobile Testing

A new mobile testing site for COVID-19 will open Friday, April 17, in Monett.  Testing will take place at the First United Methodist Church, 1600 N. Central.

The mobile testing unit is a collaboration of CoxHealth and Mercy Aurora/Cassville.  The goal is to test more people for the illness caused by the novel coronavirus, according to a news release.

Tests will be done only on those who have been referred by a healthcare provider.

Symptoms of COVID-19 include a dry cough, shortness of breath or a fever of 100.4 or greater.  Those with symptoms and anyone who’s been exposed to COVID-19 can get a free evaluation for a testing referral from CoxHealth’s Virtual Visits.  Use code “COVID.”
