COVID-19 Testing 

Today on the CBC webinar briefing, Kenton County Judge Executive Kris Knochelmann confirmed earlier media reports that Summit View Academy in Independence will become the second drive through testing sites for Covid-19 in Kentucky.  The testing site will be open daily 10am to 4pm.  People wanting to be tested need to first be validated through the Kroger Little Clinic website:
