April 2, 2020 – Like health care providers and first responders around the world, our friends at Baptist Memorial Hospital – Union City are hard at work providing the best care possible for you and our community. Because coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new virus and the situation is rapidly evolving, testing and treatment guidelines are changing.

All of us at Discovery Park of America believe it’s very important that everyone in our community here in Obion County and those of you in other cities and towns closely follow the guidelines being provided by our health care professionals.

IMPORTANT: If you have been tested, you must quarantine until results are back. If you have been tested and go to see a healthcare provider, you need to inform them you have been tested so appropriate precautionary measures can be taken.
