SALT LAKE CITY — Some COVID-19 testing sites will be closed on Thanksgiving. This is so some healthcare workers can be home with their families for the holiday.
Charla Haley with the Utah Department Of Health says three test sites and private test centers are closed for the holiday.
The U regularly closes its test sites for holidays to give its staff time to rest and recover with their loved ones.
All Intermountain Medical Centers will be closed for Thanksgiving Day to give staff time to be with their families.
The current COVID-19 testing tents will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, before resuming normal operations. They are open Monday-Friday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Saturday-Sunday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
