COVID-19 Testing Site in Platteville
GRANT COUNTY, WI COVID-19 UPDATE #25
Grant County, WI- A community COVID-19 drive-through testing site will open on Wednesday, June 17 from 9 AM to 4 PM at parking lot 28 on the UW-Platteville campus. The parking lot is located on Southwest Road across from Southwest Hall. Signage will direct participants. Walk-through testing is also available for those without transportation.
This testing site is open to anyone, regardless of residency, with the only restriction that all to be tested must be over the age of 5. Those wanting a COVID-19 test should call 608-723-1604 to schedule a time to be tested. A limited number of unscheduled walk-in openings will be available, so calling ahead will ensure the ability of all to be tested. Testing will be conducted using the nasal swab method and is free of charge. Members of the Wisconsin National Guard and the Grant County Health Department are coordinating this testing site in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin-Platteville and Grant County Emergency Management.
According to Grant County Health Officer/Director, Jeff Kindrai, “Community testing ensures that everyone who wants to be tested can get a test. It also provides a clearer picture of how COVID-19 is affecting our communities. As we continue to find positive cases, we can work to proactively slow the spread of the virus through guidance, education and action.”
Kindrai adds “We appreciate this opportunity to offer our community continued support through this valuable partnership. We’d like to thank UW-Platteville, Grant County Emergency Management, the State Emergency Operations Center, and the Wisconsin National Guard for assisting us in making this testing site a reality.”

Garbage/Recycling Pickup
At this time, garbage and recycling pick up will continue as normal, We would like to request that residents place garbage bags out only. No garbage cans. Recycling should also be bagged (clear bags if possible). By no longer handling cans and bins, this will potentially help control any inadvertent spread of COVID-19. All Livingston residents are strongly urged to comply. Thank you!
IMPORTANT message from Sewer Department!
As toilet paper is sold out in our area, we are here to remind you to ONLY flush toilet paper down the toilet!!! Just because something seems similar to toilet paper, it does NOT mean it will break down properly in your pipes. Save yourself the money and the headache of home plumbing problems. If you have any questions, please call Gary at the sewer plant at 608-943-6195!
