(TNS) — Crush the Curve Idaho, a local initiative started by Boise businesses that’s aimed at halting the spread of COVID-19, is now offering coronavirus antibody testing in the Treasure Valley.
The initiative, announced earlier this month, also is offering active virus testing for people in the Treasure Valley whether they have symptoms or not, according to a news release Thursday. The group said it is making the antibody testing available around the state.
The local effort will also offer on-site mobile testing units for companies so employees can be tested on their way into work.
“By opening testing to everyone, we will help Idaho return to work with a pathway going forward,” said Tommy Ahlquist, a former physician, the leader of Crush the Curve Idaho and the CEO of Ball Ventures Development, in the news release. “These baseline tests will be important as we establish who has been exposed to COVID-19. Repeat testing will be critical as we move forward. We now have the capacity to quickly test anyone and provide repeat antibody testing at recommended intervals.”
