A temporary, free, community-based COVID-19 drive-through testing site is returning to Rock Island County on Oct. 31 to Nov. 1.
Testing will be in the parking lot of the Camden Centre, which is located within Camden Park at 2701 1st Street in Milan. The site will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Rock Island County Health Department says the community-based testing sites are available to any Illinois resident, regardless of symptoms or other criteria. No appointment or doctor referral is needed at state-operated drive-through sites. Photo identification is required. Testing is available at no cost to the individual.
Anyone who will be tested must be seated at a functioning window. Once you get in line at the testing site, you will not be permitted to exit your car. Walk-up testing services also will be offered; please follow directions at the test site.
Due to the demand for this service, there could be wait times. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, seek immediate care.
Testing is encouraged for residents showing symptoms consistent of COVID-19. These symptoms include: fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headaches, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea.
