The Hamilton County Health Department and community partners have numerous opportunities for free COVID-19 testing across the county in the coming days and weeks.
The health department continues to operate its drive-thru testing site on Bonnyshire Drive, and others have joined to support community testing daily and at additional pop-up events across the county.
These sites only test for current COVID-19 infection, not COVID-19 antibodies that would signal a past infection.
