(KLZA)-- Test Nebraska is wrapping up two days of drive-thru COVID-19 testing at the Community Medical Center campus in Falls City with testing hours from 4:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M. Thursday. 

During a Richardson County Health Board meeting Wednesday,  Southeast District Health Department Director Grant Brueggemann was asked if there was any particular reason why the free testing site was conducted in Falls City. 

Brueggemann said the state selects the sites and wants to help residents avoid long travel distances to major testing sites.  With Falls  City being located in the southeast corner of the state, it was a location they state selected. 

Brueggmen did say that with the loosening of more restrictions across the state of Nebraska beginning June 22,  he suggests the people continue to observe social distancing and wearing masks when out in public. 

If you wish to be tested during the TEST Nebraska event in Falls City, you can sign up in advance at testnebraska.com/en. 

The event is for persons that either reside in or work in Nebraska.
