FLW Lends trailer to help with covid-19 testing
> WITH TOURNAMENTS POSTPONED
during the COVID-19 pandemic, FLW was
in a unique position to offer a helping
hand to medical professionals in the form
of one of its Phoenix Bass Fishing League
weigh-in trailers.
A COVID-19 community task force centered
in Paducah, Ky., used the trailer as a
check-in point for its mobile COVID-19 testing
station, which Dr. James Kyle Turnbo
says was a welcomed and crucial addition
to the facility.
“We’re pretty proud of the community’s
response, and the FLW trailer has been
instrumental in allowing us to do this from a
safe distance with all the appropriate control
mechanisms from an infectious disease
standpoint,” says Turnbo. “We’re tremendously
grateful for the contribution.
“Everybody in the community has really
stepped up and contributed; certainly, FLW
and other local contractors. It’s really been a
nice demonstration of what a community
can do when they come together.”
