As the more-contagious and more-severe Delta variant of COVID-19 is leading to an increase of positive cases in Northeast and Central Wisconsin, ThedaCare is adding additional testing sites and dates to ensure access to testing.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services declared the Fox Valley as a region in the state where hospitalizations are significantly increasing in recent weeks, and 68 counties in Wisconsin had high COVID-19 case activity level.
ThedaCare encourages all those who are eligible to be vaccinated, do so. In addition to the vaccine, to help manage community spread of COVID-19, testing is critical. Testing gives health systems insight to the breadth and depth of those infected in our communities, and help better understand the spread of the virus. ThedaCare encourages community members to be tested if they are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.

The drive-through testing is free and is available to all community members experiencing symptoms, those who believe they may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 and anyone who is worried about possibly having the virus. Though appointments are not required, they are recommended; individuals can pre-register online at doineedacovid19test.com or register onsite. You do not need to be a ThedaCare patient to receive a test. Those seeking testing do not need to be a resident of the community where these testing sites are located. Individuals under 18 years old must have a parent or legal guardian present to consent. Results will be given online, or through a phone call if necessary.
For those unsure about their symptoms and want more information about whether or not they should seek testing, they can access the ThedaCare online symptom checker at thedacare.org. After completing a brief questionnaire about their symptoms, individuals will be given more information about next steps to take, including how to schedule a test. The site also includes information about COVID-19, testing, online care options and other important news and updates.
