CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The Montgomery County Health Department’s COVID-19 drive-through testing location will remain at Civitan Park until further notice, according to a news release.
The news comes just a few days after the county announced it would be moving the testing site back to Veteran’s Plaza. Concerns about winter weather and providing a suitable location to store their equipment and supplies prompted the change.
Instead of moving the whole site, the health department will provide the healthcare workers two heated trailers to warm up and store supplies, and they will be installed at Civitan Park beginning today, Nov. 20.
“Staying at Civitan Park allows the health department to maintain the efficient drive-through set up for our citizens and keeps logistics running smoothly for all of the services at Veterans Plaza. It also gives us the option to expand County services into Civic Hall if necessary because of COVID-19” said Montgomery County Mayor Jim Durrett in a news release.
The hours for testing will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, and Civitan Park is located at 650 Bellamy Lane in St. Bethlehem.
The only exception to those hours will be the addition of extended hours on Monday, Nov. 23 and Monday, Nov. 30. On those days, the testing site will be open from from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m..
Any additional holiday closures will be sent to local media and shared on Montgomery County Government social media accounts, the news release said.
