The Reopen Evansville Task Force announced another extension of COVID-19 testing at C.K. Newsome Center.

Testing — which is administered by OptumServe — was set to expire at the end of July. It has been extended thanks to a collaboration with Mayor Lloyd Winnecke and the Reopen Evansville Task Force, the Vanderburgh County Health Department (VCHD) and the Indiana State Department of Health.

“This program has provided convenient and consistent testing for all in our community,” said Steve Schaefer, Deputy Mayor & Chair of the Reopen Evansville Task Force. “We will continue to work with our state and federal partners to provide the tools needed to safely reopen Evansville.”

Registration is required. Those needing a test can register at lhi.care/covidtesting or call 888-634-1116.

Testing is free to all and no medical insurance is necessary. However, residents with existing insurance are asked to provide that information during the scheduling process.

In addition to local hospital and VCHD neighborhood testing, ISDH testing is available at:

  • CVS Pharmacy on Saint Joseph Avenue
  • Deaconess Clinic Lynch
