Several Free Mobile COVID-19 Testing Sites in Southern Illinois

Images

The Illinois Department of Public Health has set-up several mobile teams in southern Illinois to offer free COVID-19 testing.
Anyone can be tested, regardless of symptoms or immigration status.  There is no cost for testing, but people should bring their insurance card if they have one. 

Specimens will be collected using a simple nasal swab.  Drive-through and walk-up testing are both available at most locations.

The mobile testing sites are available this week in Johnston City, Mt. Carmel, Benton, Du Quoin and Mt. Vernon.
