Hood River Receiving Point Of Care Tests

Hood River County Health Department Director Trish Elliott told County Commissioners on Monday there has been a big arrival of COVID-19 point of care testing materials.  It’s called Binex Now, which Elliott says is an all-in-one test kit that comes with re-agent and provides rapid results.  Elliott says school-based health care centers in the state will be receiving the kits, along with long-term care facilities.  She said One Community Health has received one-thousand and Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital has received 520, and the health department has received 2,000.  Elliott said they will be providing some of the test kits to local providers, and more will be coming.  She did add the wide distribution of the tests will provide a challenge in making sure results are reported to the state as it tracks COVID-19.
