DETROIT – A drive-thru testing process is being set up at the State Fairgrounds near Woodward Avenue and 8 Mile Road in Detroit.
It’s expected to run for the next six weeks and will test more than 14,000 people, or more.
People who are trying to get tested will not be able to just show up. They will have to see a doctor first. If your doctor thinks you need a test, they will give you a referral.
Then you can reach out to the call center at 313-230-0505 and make an appointment.
There are many tents set up in the area -- they were intended for the Rocket Mortgage Classic Golf Tournament. Quicken Loans is instead using its tents, the parking lot and its normal business call center to try and flatten the curve.
