FRISCO — Seventeen positive tests for the novel coronavirus have been recorded on Summit County’s coronavirus webpage.
The county now has 130 positive cases and two more people have been hospitalized with the virus. The county is now reporting 40 hospitalizations since March 5.
Testing also significantly increased last week: 520 people have been tested for the virus with 41 of those tests pending. New testing efforts by Centura Health and Vail Health allow anyone who is experiencing symptoms of the virus — fever, muscle aches, cough, shortness of breath, headache and sore throat — to be tested.
Centura’s Center for Occupational Medicine clinic on School Road in Frisco is offering testing daily. People who are experiencing symptoms can receive a testing order by calling 970-668-5584. With the testing order, same-day, walk-in testing is available.
