Resource and Awareness Task Force will Conduct a Fourth Neighborhood Drive-Up Testing
The Resource and Awareness Task Force will conduct a fourth neighborhood drive up testing site Tuesday, August 25, at 4100 Covert Ave. This is the location of the former Health South Rehab Hospital and will be conducted in the facility parking lot. The drive up testing clinic will start at 5 pm and run until test supplies have been exhausted or 7 pm whichever comes first.  Â
Details for the testing site are listed below:
- Testing is for only Evansville/Vanderburgh County residents and identification will be required.
- No appointments will be required. Individuals will be tested on a first come first serve basis.
- There will be no restrictions on receiving a test, such as being symptomatic.
- Testing will be free of charge, but if individuals have insurance they will be asked to provide their insurance information for billing purposes.
- All those who come to receive a test will be asked to wear a facial covering until they are tested. If residents don’t have facial coverings they will be provided one.
- Individuals will be asked for basic personal information so results can be provided and follow up case management can occur if positive results are determined.
- Children under the age of 18 may also be tested with consent from a parent or guardian.
- Those who are unable to drive to the testing site can walk up to receive a test. These individuals will also be asked to wear a face-covering before they receive a test, and be provided a face covering if they do not have one.
FOOTNOTE: The Task Force asks the media to respect the privacy of these individuals and not capture their faces on camera.
