Now #CovidKim is going to lift the cap for covid-19 testing [View all]

I suspect it has more to do with the blow back then actual improvements in the testing process

However, the governor’s office announced Friday it was lifting the cap on testing at the Dubuque site, effective Monday. Testing going forward, though, will be by appointment.

“We appreciate the full cooperation of Epic Health and Wellness Clinic to adjust the hours of operation and make the recommended scheduling changes in a timely manner to continue to provide access to quality COVID-19 testing in the community,” Reynolds spokesman Pat Garrett said. “To ensure better alignment with the other Test Iowa clinics and a consistent experience for Iowans, appointments will now be required for testing, which will resume on Monday.”

Adjusted hours for the Dubuque testing site, however, were not immediately available Friday afternoon. Messages left with Epic Health and Wellness seeking comment were not returned.

The decision to sharply reduce operations at the Test Iowa site during a time of escalating infection rates drew sharp rebuke from area Democratic lawmakers.
