COVID-19 Study Being Conducted, Mobile Test Center At Frankfort Walmart

Published on

As part of the Indiana State Department of Health collaboration with the Indiana University Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI to conduct a scientific study to measure the spread of COVID-19 throughout the state, today, Tuesday, April 28, 2020, a mobile test center is located in the parking lot of the Frankfort Walmart as part of the study.

“Having the ability to not only test for the presence of this virus, but also to learn more about people who have been exposed in the past and might have antibodies that indicate past infection, will help us fine-tune our work to keep Hoosiers safe from this pandemic,” said State Health Commissioner Dr. Kris Box. “We are grateful that this partnership will help make that happen.”

The study kicked-off Saturday, April 25. Multiple mobile test centers are in use. The first round of testing will consist of a pool of at least 5,000 Hoosiers randomly selected from across Indiana’s 10 emergency preparedness districts.

This is the first of four phases of the study that will take place over the next year.

The study is by invitation only and locally approximately 70 invitations were sent out for testing today and will include random sample testing for SARS-CoV-2 — the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 — viral infections and antibodies in Hoosiers.

“The unprecedented commitment of the state of Indiana to support critical research will allow us to blaze new trails to understand and respond to the pandemic and its impact on Hoosier health and well-being,” said IU Vice President for Research Fred Cate.

In total, at least 20,000 Hoosiers will be tested for the study. Select members of the public are being asked to participate, by invitation only, to ensure that the sampling is representative of the population.

In addition to medical personnel on-hand to conduct the testing, Indiana State Police is also there.

FHS Changes Course, To Hold “Traditional Face-To-Face” Graduation On August 8 as “Plan A”

Published on

Frankfort High School has changed courses in regards to holding a virtual graduation ceremony for the Class of 2020.

As previously reported on April 21, Frankfort High School Principal Cindy Long sent an email to the senior class informing them of the decision to hold a virtual graduation ceremony.

That decision led to an online petition to be posted asking for a face-to-face ceremony as well as parents and guardians reaching out to school administrators expressing concern that a “traditional” graduation ceremony was not the first choice.

Parents and guardians of the Class of 2020 are receiving a letter from FHS Principal Long stating, “I recognize that our decision has caused disappointment and other ill-feelings. Please know that my intent was sincere. Frankfort High School wants nothing more than to hold our commencement in a traditional manner if safety allows, and our plan “A” is to do just that.”

“In the spirit of compromise, we will now hold our traditional face-to-face graduation on Saturday, August 8. 2020.”

There was no time of day provided in the letter.

Should plan “A” not be able to take place, a virtual program will be conducted.
