Buncombe county residents who think they may have symptoms of COVID-19 can get answers and connect to resources with a new online Self -Checker . The digital tool was created by a COVID-19 think tank started by Emergency Preparedness Director Fletcher Tove with support from the Mountain Area Health Education Center . The idea for the online resource came from a local climate scientist who also worked to develop and program the self-checker. BPR’S Helen Chickering reports.
