No appointment, doctor referral, or insurance is needed at state operated drive-thru sites and testing is available at no cost to the individual.
The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is recommending anyone who has recently been part of a mass gathering, including rallies and protests over the past week, get tested for coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
The virus has been found to spread between people up to a couple days before people start showing symptoms. Because of this, the number of people an infected person could unknowingly expose can be exponential.
A list of public and private testing sites can be found on the IDPH website at http://www.dph.illinois.gov/testing.
