Dear Neighbors:

Free COVID-19 Testing Available at State Mobile Testing Sites in Northern Illinois 

The fall surge in coronavirus cases is rising rapidly leading to an increase in hospitalizations and ICU admissions in Illinois and around the country. To combat these trends and control the spread of the virus, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) dispatched several mobile testing teams to locations in Cook and Lake Counties to provide COVID-19 testing this week. Anyone can be tested, and there is no cost to the individual. Insurance is not required, but IDPH is encouraging people who have insurance to bring their insurance cards. Drive-through and walk-up testing are both available at most locations. 

Below are dates, locations, and hours the mobile units are open in Cook and Lake counties.
