There were 1,058 people tested Thursday during the first pop-up testing at the Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, the public health agency said.
Public Health also had a free testing site Friday at Trotwood-Madison High School in Trotwood.
Health officials urge anyone with symptoms or who has been in crowds recently to take advantage of the free testing as the area continues to see an increase in cases, particularly among teens and young adults.

“The reality is in every county we have community spread. And it is increasing at a rapid rate. So we’re at about four, five, times more cases per day than we were just a month or so ago,” said Dr. Michael Dohn, Public Health medical director. “This means there are a lot of people out there who have been exposed one way or another.”
Those who have been around crowds, such as at bars or protests, are at a greater risk of being infectious and spreading the virus, Dohn said.
Getting tested will let people know their status and whether they need to isolate to keep from spreading the virus.
