The Monroe County health department is partnering with the New York State health department to begin in home testing for COVID-19.
They will send out “strike teams” to perform the tests.
The teams will consist of two medical professionals and one driver.
They will only be testing people who have been in contact with someone who previously tested positive.
They will be setting up in home appointments and then submit the test for processing.
The health department will identify these individuals and prioritize based on the existing guidelines.
