In cooperation with the Point Roberts health clinic, the fire department will be again offering Covid-19 testing this Saturday, May 2 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Benson Road fire hall. Those wishing to be tested should email Christopher Carleton at chief@wcfd5.com with your legal name, address, phone number and date of birth. A copy of your insurance card along with ID will need to be provided on the day of the test.
Last weekend, the fire district tested an additional 40 individuals including some essential workers. In all, 177 have been tested over the last three weekends. Carleton said his goal is to test 300-400 people in all which would represent from 30-40 percent of the current population. Whatcom County as a whole has tested just 1.2 percent of the population.
Carleton said he is also working on getting antibody testing for Point Roberts but hasn’t anything to report at this time.
