Inside Gaston County's Coronavirus Call Center

GASTONIA, N.C. — Gaston County opened a coronavirus call center Wednesday to help answer residents' questions about the virus. 

Gaston County public health director, Steve Eaton, said the call center is part of the county's push for people to "call before you come." By calling the center first, Eaton said it'll prevent sick people from putting medical facilities at greater risk of exposure to the Coronavirus.

Since the call center's launch Wednesday morning, there's been a slow stream of phone calls, but staffers expect it to pick up once more people learn the center's number: 704-862-5303.
