The Springfield Fire Department is requiring their workers to get tested for COVID-19 every week on the UIS campus.
“We are sending every crew every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of every week to go to UIS and to get tested,” Springfield Fire Chief Brandon Blough said.
The Springfield Fire Department expects to test around 150 to 200 people a week. Most should expect the results from UIS within 24 hours.
