Kansas health officials want to randomly test Sedgwick County residents to determine the spread of coronavirus in the area.

KSNW-TV reports the local health department will offer testing to 1,600 random residents next week.

Residents who get a call from the health department will be offered testing regardless of whether they have symptoms of COVID-19.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.
