CACHE COUNTY – The city of Hyrum is among the sites where state officials will offer COVID-19 testing this week.
Drive-thru testing will be available at the Hyrum Senior Center on Thursday, June 3, from noon to 7 p.m. That facility is located at 695 E. Main Street.
All of the state-sponsored sites will offer PCR screening (which detects current cases of COVID-19) and rapid antigen testing. Those sites will also test children ages three and older.
Test results will be emailed to an encrypted file from CV19result@utah.gov anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours after the test is done.
