Fairbanks Study

Kosciusko County Health officials remind the public that if you happen to receive some form of communication from the Indiana Department of Health regarding the study, it is a legitimate message from Indianapolis.
These may come in forms of postcards, texts, phone calls or e-mail. Officials urge those who get an invitation to do so to register for a test time. The testing will be used to help the IDH with information and decision making as the pandemic continues to move forward.
