MADISON — ​Gov. Tony Evers announced May 6 that the Wisconsin Department of Health Services has launched a new online resource that makes it easier for the public to access testing sites throughout the state. 

This searchable map provides Wisconsinites with testing site locations, contact information, hours of operation, and guidance on how to schedule an appointment.

The State Emergency Operations Center, DHS, Wisconsin Emergency Management and Wisconsin National Guard are also working with local health departments to create community testing events in places with a known lack of access to testing or where additional testing is needed because of high rates of COVID-19. The new searchable map helps connect Wisconsin residents who have symptoms of COVID-19 to locations in their community where they can get tested. DHS will update the map daily to notify the public about new testing sites in communities across the state.

This online resource helps to connect the dots to reach the Badger Bounce Back Plan’s four key testing goals: Respond to every employer, corrections and congregate care outbreak; test every nursing home resident and staff member; establish community testing programs for symptomatic individuals in target communities; and ensure everyone who is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms gets a test.
