KDHE deploys mobile unit to assist with COVID-19 testing for underserved populations

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly on Friday announced that the Kansas Department of Health and Environment has deployed a Mobile Testing Unit to assist communities with COVID-19 testing for underserved populations. “In order to combat the spread of COVID-19 and safely reopen Kansas, our public health experts must be able to track the scale and scope of this virus,” Governor Kelly said. “Working with local communities and public health officials, this mobile unit helps us reach the vulnerable populations that are experiencing barriers to testing access.” The KDHE is working with local health departments and other health organizations to identify places throughout the sate that would benefit from the mobile-testing service.
