Mobile Coronavirus Test

New mobile clinic test 50 patients a day

Doctors note.

This morning, huntsville hospital is going mobile to test for the coronavirus.

Waay31s sierra phillips is live in huntsville with how they're using a bus to help test people in north huntsville, sierra?

Huntsville hospital's new mobile clinic can test around 50 patients per day!

The idea is to help those who can't travel to the drive through clinic at john hunt park or the fever and flu clinic on governor's drive.

The hospital system is working with churches in north huntsville to organize the effort.

It has either a nurse practitioner or doctor on board.

And they've tested 100 people just in the last 2 days.

We coordinated that yesterday with a church in north huntsville they helped identify those people who needed to be tested.

Needed to get there and help get them there.

We collect all that information when we run that test.

And we get those results directly back to the patients based of the information that they give us when the register at our medical mobile unit.

At last check there are 4 coronavirus patients hospitalized here in madison county.

The huntsville hospital ceo said he believes all are using ventilators.
