Swab tents close early

The drive-through swabbing station at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County will be closing early on New Year’s Eve.

According to information from the hospital, the station will close at 11 a.m. Thursday and will remain closed Friday. The station is expected to open Saturday at 9 a.m.

The closure is due to shipping restraints.

“We think shipping schedules may cause some problems, so are planning ahead,” Deb Sutton, MHSC’s public information and marketing director, said. “Planning ahead is better than the potential to run out of any type of supplies.”
