Coronavirus testing of employees is crucial for businesses as more begin to re-open and the Port of Bellingham has formed a partnership to simplify that process.

The Port’s Regional Economic Partnership is teaming up with Northwest Laboratory to provide tests for local businesses.

Dr. Kelly Lloyd of Northwest Laboratory says some companies might want to get all their employees tested…

She says employers can request the tests directly through Northwest Laboratory.

Employees then make appointments on-line to visit their drive-thru testing facility.
