Update on local COVID-19 testing

Churchill County testing results for COVID-19 as of April 9th

Churchill County has released the latest testing date for COVID-19 as of April 9th. There have been 59 tests administered with 50 negative results and 9 tests are still pending. The county reports that there is a lag in getting the pending numbers back in a timely manner from the various labs and entities involved.

These results include tests done by Banner Churchill Community Hospital, Narag Fallon Family Clinic, NAS Fallon, and the Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe. Any tests performed at the Fallon Renown clinic are sent to Reno, according to County Manager, Jim Barbee, and then reported to the Washoe County Health District. If there is a positive result from the Fallon Renown Clinic, that patient would be contacted and then the results would be reported to Churchill County. 

We will continue updating as we get results in from the county.

If you need assistance or more information the county has a list of resources on their website at: bit.ly/2RmFaMH

The Small Business Development Center also has a resource page for small businesses that have been affected by the COVID-19 crisis at: Small Business Resiliency

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
