Warner Hospital To Bring Down COVID Tent at the End of June, Make Testing Available Inside

If you've driven by Clinton's Warner Hospital in recent months, you've noticed a small tent outside the Family Medicine building. 

 

That will soon be coming down and CEO Paul Skowron says the testing taking place in the tent will be shifting to within the hospital itself. He indicates at one point last week, there were zero tests conducted.

 

 

As of Friday, the mask mandate in Illinois has been lifted in most settings. Skowron indicates an anticipated spike from the Memorial Day celebrations never materialized. He hopes as we get through the summer, high-volume testing will be less necessary.

 

 

Skowron indicates the tent coming down on June 30 will be well-timed because the hospital has a parking lot project planned for this summer, so it will be out of the way just in time for that to get underway.
