- Hi I'm Staff Sergeant Holdridge.

00:02.450 --> 00:03.790
I'm working with the
Michigan National Guard.

00:03.790 --> 00:06.330
We're operating here two
days in Flint, Michigan

00:06.330 --> 00:08.150
to help support the community with

00:08.150 --> 00:10.800
a two-day, drive-up COVID-19 testing.

00:10.800 --> 00:13.960
- We are having a free testing today

00:13.960 --> 00:16.940
and it's something that
community's really been asking for

00:16.940 --> 00:18.620
and really wanted to have

00:18.620 --> 00:21.490
and I'm so happy that the
National Guard came in

00:21.490 --> 00:23.510
to assist us with this today.

00:23.510 --> 00:26.420
- [Holdridge] We are
currently working with

00:26.420 --> 00:29.843
the Department of Health
and also the city police.

00:30.920 --> 00:31.810
The Department of Health

00:31.810 --> 00:34.900
collects appropriate patient information,

00:34.900 --> 00:36.940
then our medics perform the nasal swab

00:36.940 --> 00:39.200
and our admins seal and package the test

00:39.200 --> 00:40.970
to send off for testing.

00:40.970 --> 00:41.990
It's truly amazing.

00:41.990 --> 00:44.840
The community has been extremely helpful

00:44.840 --> 00:47.170
and energetic that we're all here

00:47.170 --> 00:49.330
and it's just really great to support

00:49.330 --> 00:51.500
the response on COVID-19.

00:51.500 --> 00:53.600
- You guys are always
doing a wonderful job

00:53.600 --> 00:55.610
and I just wanna take
my hat off to you guys

00:55.610 --> 00:57.650
and say thank you for your service

00:57.650 --> 00:59.450
and for your work in this community.
