A small clinic in central Pennsylvania has set up drive-through coronavirus testing that accommodates horse and buggies for its local Amish and Mennonite communities
The Central Pennsylvania Clinic in Belleville, a town known for its majority Amish and Mennonite population, is one of the only coronavirus testing facilities in the area.The clinic's founder and medical director, Dr. D. Holmes Morton, collaborated with Regina Lamendella, the co-founder of a start-up which detects and diagnoses infectious diseases, to develop a new way to test for the virus.
Expanding testing to asymptomatic carriersAlthough most hospitals only test patients with severe symptoms of Covid-19, Lamendella and Morton are doing their best to identify asymptomatic carriers of the virus who don't know they're positive. "We all know from experience that the epidemic is really perpetuated by people who are relatively asymptomatic but still infectious," Morton told CNN.
