CONWAY — With high numbers of COVID-19 cases and people trying to get tested as part of their vacation plans, COVID testing services in the valley are very busy, and Memorial Hospital says people should plan ahead if they need to be tested for travel, school or holiday gatherings.

Hospital spokesman Tim Kershner said Wednesday that call volume has increased significantly for the drive-thru testing clinic. “We’re asking people to be patient with callbacks and with our scheduling because we have a finite number of slots each day,” Kershner said.
