Covid Pop-Up Testing Sites

24

City of Des Plaines issued the following announcement on Jan. 12

Here is what you need to know from the Illinois Attorney General on pop-up COVID testing locations:

  • These sites are NOT licensed or regulated by any government agency, therefore the legitimacy of these sites cannot be confirmed.
  • Ask questions. A list of questions to ask the testing site (and the full press release) can be found on the Illinois Attorney General's website.
  • Be cautious of places that want you to pay out of pocket--this is a red flag that the site may not be legitimate. 
The Illinois Attorney General encourages residents to utilize state-sponsored testing sites or to contact your healthcare provider. Find a state-sponsored testing location near you by visiting the Illinois Department of Public Health or Cook County Department of Public Health.
