(KLZA)-- The Nebraska National Guard will conduct a drive thru testing event for the COVID-19 virus Thursday in Tecumseh. 

Southeast District Health Department Director Grant Brueggemann provided details during Wednesday's meeting of the Richardson County Health Board. 

The testing is open to anyone and will be taking place between 10:00 A.M., and 5:00 P.M.   There will be 300 tests available and if that number is reached prior to 5, the testing  will stop. 

The testing will be done at 1110 Buffalo Drive in Tecumseh and is open to anyone, you do not need to have symptoms of the virus to be tested.  

This will be the second time testing has been done in Tecumseh.  Brueggemann says he expects two more opportunities for testing to be done within the district in the next couple of weeks. He has permission to move the locations and would like to do one in the northern half of  the SEDHD and one in the south half.

Brueggemann said even though this is the second round of testing in Tecumseh,  there is no concerns of a major increase in coronavirus cases in the area at the present time.  The State of Nebraska wants more testing done to get a better of idea of what is happening with the pandemic across the state.
