The Anchorage Emergency Operations Center has announced the opening of five new control sites in the city.
Tests at hot sites may be loose and open to the public 3 days a week require a doctor’s recommendation. Sites can be open on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays and would be available by appointment or car.
Patients who checked at the existing control site reported waiting times of several hours in recent weeks as COVID-1nine infections increased.

After filing the contract, the city opted for a California-based comparative apple, Visit Healthcare, under a three-month, five-million-dollar contract paid with FEMA money. Part of the explanation is the apple’s ability to conduct checks, said Audrey Gray, of the city’s emergency operations center. Across the country, the shortage of control devices has led to delays in returning the results of the controls. But Gray said the combined apple had assured Anchorage officials that he had the strength to search after Anchorage controls.
“The combined apple waits 2 to 4 to 8 hours for those tests, but we’re waiting to see if this will take position or not,” he said.

“Whether it’s the elements or other things, or for example, there’s a downed plane that the evidence intended to continue,” he said.
The sites will also conduct normal and arranged tests on residential premises and for essential workers.
The five verification sites will be located in the following vehicle parks:
– Church ChangePoint, 668nine Changepoint Drive
– Fairview Community Recreation Center, 1121 East Avenue
– Anchorage Church of Christ, 2700 Debarr Road
– Muldoon Community Assembly, 70 Debarr Road
Z.J. Loussac Library, three hundred and six Denali Street
