Routine delivery of specimens to the BOL will be made by commercial carriers such as FedEx and United Parcel Service; but routine testing will not be performed. Deliveries by the US Postal Service will be delayed until the Tuesday following the Monday holiday. Testing of routine specimens delivered during these holiday times will be delayed until normal business hours resume.
The availability of Emergency testing during holiday periods, such as rabies testing, is dependent on the specimen reaching the laboratory and the testing personnel notification by the on-call person. Arrangements must be coordinated with on-call personnel at 517-335-9030 prior to the specimen being transported.
