KENOSHA ⏤ The Kenosha Fire Department will offer free COVID-19 testing twice weekly in Uptown starting Friday.
The department announced in a press release Thursday that it will be hosting testing at the vacant Fire Station No. 3, 2121 Roosevelt Road, in Uptown.
Testing will take place on Wednesdays and Fridays through the end of the year, starting Nov. 20.
Personnel will run testing at the site from noon to 6 p.m.
“Please, do not call 911 or the fire department to schedule testing or request information,” the department stated in its Thursday release.
