Coronavirus Testing Site Reopens In Rolling Meadows

ROLLING MEADOWS, IL — After the brief closures of Community Based Testing Sites throughout Illinois, State Senator Ann Gillespie (D-Arlington Heights) announced the reopening of the Rolling Meadows testing site at Rolling Meadows High School, 2901 Central Road.

"Having a testing site readily available in our community is a valuable service," Gillespie said in sa statement. "I encourage anyone experiencing symptoms to please get tested. We all must continue to do our part to slow the spread of COVID-19."

The Rolling Meadows location is one of 10 CBTS that reopened Wednesday.

Anyone with symptoms is encouraged by the Illinois Department of Public Health to seek testing. Essential workers and individuals who were exposed to confirmed COVID-19 patients may be tested with or without symptoms.

COVID-19 testing at all CBTS is a free service that can be accessed without a doctor’s referral. While it is a free service, patients will be asked to provide a photo ID or a first-responder ID if applicable. The Rolling Meadows location is drive-through only.
