(KAIR)--Saying that the immediate need has been fulfilled, COVID-19 testing, which was being conducted at the Atchison Event Center, has come to an end.
According to a release from the City of Atchison, the drive-through testing location “was seeing exceedingly low traffic,” which lead to the decision to discontinue the service.
As of Wednesday’s figures, released by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Atchison County added five new confirmed positive cases of the virus, bringing the County’s total, since the start of the pandemic, to 1,507.
The County has incurred 13 virus-related deaths.
The KDHE on Wednesday reported 288,717 cases statewide from the state’s 105 counties.
Kansas has had 4,521 deaths since the pandemic’s start.
