Five Rivers Health Centers, in partnership with Gov. Mike DeWine’s COVID-19 Minority Health Strike Force, the Ohio Department of Health and the Ohio National Guard, are hosting the event, according to a release from Five Rivers Health Centers.
No doctor’s order is required. Adults, as well as children 10 and older, can be tested. Bring driver’s licenses or state IDs. No appointment is required, but people are encouraged to pre-register before Friday. More details are available at www.fiverivershealthcenters.org.
The testing is available to anyone. A person does not have to live in Montgomery County. Results are expected in about seven days.
“The COVID-19 Minority Health Strike Force has worked with local partners to create pop-up testing sites in communities where access to testing may be limited,” said DeWine. “By joining with the Ohio National Guard and other local partners, we can have a better understanding of COVID-19 through increased testing and be better able to prevent its spread.”
