A community-based COVID-19 drive-through testing site is returning to the QCCA Expo Center in Rock Island County from Thursday, September 17th to Sunday, September 20th.
The site is located at 2621 4th Avenue in Rock Island. Its hours of operation will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The testing will be available to any Illinois resident, regardless of symptoms or other criteria. No appointment or doctor referral is needed. However, photo identification and contact information are required.
Testing is available at no cost, but those with medical insurance may be asked to provide their insurance card. Anyone who will be tested must be seated at a functioning window. You will not be allowed to exit your car once you get in line at the testing site.
Walk-up testing services also will be offered. You’re asked to follow directions at the test site.
Due to the demand for this service, there could be long wait times. Health officials ask you to please be patient. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, seek immediate care.
