More great Dem leadership! (Bold emphasis is mine.)
Bad news is results take 6 days, but at least everyone is eligible to be tested! What a concept!
Approximately 115 members of the Illinois National Guard are stationed at the testing site along with additional employees from the Chicago Fire Department and Illinois Department of Public Health.
The frontline workers are expected to conduct 500 tests a day, 7 days a week, doubling the number of tests administered since March. While priority is given to first responders and medical professionals, testing has been expanded to include anyone over 18 years old who has shown symptoms of the coronavirus, according to the Chicago Fire Department.
Those who are over 60 years old or who have underlying medical conditions can be tested even if they don't exhibit symptoms.
