URGENT COVID-19 TESTING UPDATE AS OF 1/22
Due to the recent discontinuation of the CURATIVE TEST SITES by the state, the Clear Creek drive-thru test site in Idaho Springs is cancelled until further notice. Clear Creek Public Health is exploring lab availability and other logistics to re-open a Clear Creek County test site as quickly as possible.
Summit County is offering three alternative sites for community testing:
- Silverthorne run by MAKO through CDPHE (drive-thru site)
- Frisco run by Centura
- Breckenridge run by Vail Health
*These are NOT Curative tests and anyone can use them.
