Hospital ready to test patients referred by their doctors

Belfast — Waldo County General Hospital in Belfast and Pen Bay Medical Center in Rockport have opened respiratory evaluation centers that provide COVID-19 testing. Tents have been erected on both hospital campuses for patients who come with appropriate physician referrals.
In Belfast, evaluations and tests are being performed in a tent set in the parking area of a hospital building at 146 Northport Ave., corner of Huntress Avenue. Part of the Waldo County General Hospital complex, the building is a cedar shake-shingled house now being used for medical purposes.
It's important to note that these centers are not walk-in testing centers. Each patient must have a referral from a provider in order to be evaluated or tested at either of these centers. To be tested, those experiencing symptoms must call their doctor to determine whether testing is appropriate.
