An Alternate Care Site location for the Riley County health department to treat potential coronavirus patients has been announced.
County Counselor Clancy Holeman informed the Riley County Commission Thursday that the Holiday Inn Express at Blue Earth Plaza has been selected as the chosen care site. The hotel has been closed since last month. It came available after plans fell through securing the Four Points by Sheraton location on Fort Riley Blvd.
The ACS is a location where patients who do not require hospitalization could continue their recovery. The site would also house the swabbing station and a respiratory clinic. As of now, the entities involved say there is not yet a need for the site.
