Appointments can be made starting today. Testing is for anyone who lives or works in the state of Indiana. Anyone now can be tested, even those who are not showing symptoms.
The site will not do COVID-19 antibody testing.
There is no charge for testing. However, if you do have private health care insurance, you are asked to bring that to the testing site.
