Testing is free and open to regardless of symptoms, according to the release. A phone number and name are required in order to receive testing results. Photo identification and proof of insurance are helpful, but not required.

The Lake County Health Department warns that wait times can be long because of high demand for testing and sites may close early because of inclement weather or if daily testing supplies are exhausted.
