Fuller Periodontics will be conducting 300 COVID-19 tests for asymptomatic people on Thursday in Billings.

"Unfortunately, we only have 300 of them. I wish I had 3,000 of them," said Dr. Brian Fuller. "But I think we will go until we run out of tests or people stop showing up."

Originally, Fuller and his staff were just going to test their patients, but they realized the numbers in the county were growing and that the more they can test, the better.

"There are probably a lot of people walking around Billings or Yellowstone County that probably have no symptoms," he said. "They probably don't know they are spreading it. And if we can do something to try and shrink that number... what a great way to shut down this spread."

Tests will be self swabs for your nose and it is first-come, first-serve. The staff is planning on testing from 7:30 a.m. till 2 p.m. or until test kits run out.
