COVID-19 testing to change in Northwest Wisconsin

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. ― Due to lower COVID-19 testing volumes, Mayo Clinic Health System's dedicated testing locations in Eau Claire, Barron and Menomonie will be discontinued.

Beginning May 2, testing locations in Barron and Menomonie will transition to primary care clinics. Tests will be available weekdays with an appointment at primary care clinics in Barron, Bloomer, Chetek, Chippewa Falls, Glenwood City, Menomonie, Mondovi, Osseo or Rice Lake.

Beginning May 16, the COVID-19 testing location in Eau Claire at 2712 Stein Blvd. will be closed and transition to the Clairemont Campus clinic location at 733 W. Clairemont Ave. Appointments will be available weekdays for patients experiencing symptoms. Saturday appointments will be available for patients who are preparing for procedures or surgeries.

Patients must schedule an appointment to receive a COVID-19 test. Patients are encouraged to use Patient Online Services through the Mayo Clinic app or online to schedule a COVID-19 testing appointment. Patients also can use the Check Symptoms assessment tool in Patient Online Services to screen for COVID-19 testing.

Patients without access to a Patient Online Services account can contact their primary care provider to determine whether COVID-19 testing is needed.
