People with mild COVID-19 symptoms can get tested in Skagit without a doctor's order

Whatcom County residents with mild symptoms can get tested for COVID-19 without a doctor’s order, if they’re willing to travel to Skagit County.

Testing capacity in Whatcom County has increased, the health department said Monday, April 27, allowing people who have mild symptoms to be tested. But they still must have permission from a health care provider to be tested.

Skagit County officials opened their drive-thru testing to the public at Skagit Valley College in Mount Vernon on Monday, April 27. A total of 193 adults were tested from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the first day, according to Bronlea Mishler, spokesperson for Skagit’s Unified Command.

Up to 200 adults can be tested each day at the site, Mishler said to The Bellingham Herald on Tuesday, April 28.
