NUMC adds in-house COVID-19 testing

[New Ulm Journal, October 30, 2020] Starting Monday, New Ulm Medical Center will be analyzing COVID-19 tests in house with new equipment that Allina Health has added in all of its regional hospitals.

The equipment was installed recently, and staff have been trained on it. The service will be ready to roll out on Monday.

The new in-house testing will allow NUMC to return test results within 12 to 24 hours. NUMC will be able to do about 42 tests per day, not quite half of the number it usually conducts. Read the full story online at www.nujournal.com.
