Waterbury Hospital Opens Drive-Through COVID-19 Sampling Station

Published:

As the number of COVID-19 cases are expected to grow, health providers are working to get more patients suspected of having the virus tested.

Waterbury Hospital is the latest facility to open a drive-through sampling station.

The hospital is preparing for an increase in the number of people infected with COVID-19.

The new drive-through sampling station is right outside the emergency department.

“Having the benefit of this testing zone allows us to be more efficient. We can test those patients who have low symptoms that are at low risk an we can do it here rather than sending them to the ER or their PCP to get tested,” said Dr. Justin Lundbye, Chief Medical Officer at Waterbury Hospital.
