PORT HURON, Mich. – Clients will now retrieve their own nasal swab collection kit and consent from an outdoor cabinet at the front of the building when they go for COVID-19 testing at the St. Clair County Health Department.

Signage will indicate the changes alongside some instructional videos available on the website and social media. The new process allows for more testing appointments each day and shorter wait times for the results, officials said.
