Here Are The Color Of Health COVID-19 Testing Sites For August

CLEVELAND — The Color of Health initiative will bring multiple free COVID-19 testing sites to churches throughout Cleveland in August.

The initiative was launched by the Greater Cleveland Congregations in response to the lack of COVID-19 testing available in parts of Cleveland.

"Our community is in dire need of support to overcome the negative economic, emotional and physical effects of COVID-19," Rev. James Quincy said in a statement. "We are working to deliver critical support."

Pre-registration is required to get a test during these events.
