The second wave of Douglas County's COVID-19 symptom survey opened Tuesday, April 28, at 9 a.m. and will close Friday, May 1, at 9 a.m.

The second wave of Douglas County’s COVID-19 symptom survey opened Tuesday and will remain open until Friday, May 1, at 9 a.m.

The survey is meant to help the local health department understand how many people in Douglas County have or do not have symptoms of COVID-19, as supply shortages continue to limit testing efforts in the state. The first survey revealed that 114 of 11,405 residents who responded reported recent COVID-19 symptoms.

Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health and Unified Command are asking those who took the first survey to take the survey again. The health department is also encouraging those who did not take the first survey to participate in the second wave of the survey and those to follow.

“If you did not take it the first time, now is your chance because we want to hear from as many Douglas County residents as possible,” Aihua Zhu, a senior analyst at Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health, said in a news release.

The survey can be accessed on the Unified Command’s website, douglascountyks.org/coronavirus.
