COVID-19 testing site coming to Reddick Community Center

The state Division of Emergency Management will host a one-day, free drive-through COVID-19 testing event in Reddick next week.

Testing will be held at the Reddick Community Center (4345 N.W. 152nd St.) from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7.

To be tested, individuals should bring a valid photo ID; minors under age 18 will only be tested if they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. People should be prepared to stay in their vehicles while waiting for testing; restroom facilities will not be available. Only people who are being tested should be in the vehicle, with the exception of parents, guardians or caregivers. No pets are permitted in the vehicle during tests.

Testing will run until 4 p.m. or until all available samples are used, whichever comes first. For more information, call the Marion County COVID-19 Hotline Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at (352) 644-2590.
