Where & How To Get a Rapid COVID-19 Test in Chicago?
If you have been determined by your healthcare provider to meet the criteria for testing, you will be advised that you need to have an in-person visit with a doctor at a testing center or a drive-through. The on-site doctor will then assess your risk and determine your eligibility for a COVD-19 test.
