LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Two Louisville COVID-19 testing sites were closed Thursday, Jan. 20, due to winter wind chills, and will be opening on a delayed scheduled on Friday, Jan. 21.
Bluewater Diagnostics said its testing sites located at Churchill Downs and Southeast Christian Church were both closed due to wind chills that dipped down to 10 degrees.
"This morning our people were getting frozen," Bluewater spokeswoman Dina English said. "And the samples were as well."
Both sites are currently scheduled to reopen Friday, though on a delayed schedule, as temps are supposed to be low Friday morning as well.
On Friday, both the Churchill Downs and Southeast Christian Church sites will be open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Elizabethtown and London sites will be closed all day.
On Saturday, the Churchill Downs site will be closed all day. The BlueLeaf Laboratory will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
