Free COVID testing is coming to Monticello on Saturday, December 5.

The DeWitt/Piatt Bi-County Health Department will host free testing at their Piatt County location. Director Dave Remmert hopes they can get as many people tested as possible.

According to Remmert, Piatt County is beginning to see quite a spike in their COVID numbers in the last few weeks. 

Remmert indicates because of a lag in reporting and the delays they are experiencing in contact tracing, they are most of the time unable to provide their communities with up-to-date active COVID cases.
