KENOSHA COUNTY ⏤ Starting Friday, the Wisconsin National Guard weekly COVID-19 testing site in the county will be housed at a new location.

The testing site will now rest at the Salem Lakes Fire and Rescue Station No. 1, 11252 254th Ct., in Trevor. Testing will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday.

Testing will also take place at the location during the same hours on Dec. 18.

The testing site may open for more dates, depending on National Guard availability, the county said in a release. 

Though no appointments are necessary, county officials encourage residents to register in advance at https://register.covidconnect.wi.gov.

This service is provided by local, independent pharmacy Modern Apothecary on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and by the Kenosha Fire Department on Wednesdays and Fridays.
