INDIANAPOLIS – As the demand for COVID-19 testing increases, the Marion County Public Health Department says that starting today, anyone seeking a test at one of its three drive-thru testing locations needs to be pre-registered in order to receive a test.

“Over the past several days, we have seen a significant rise in the number of people visiting our COVID-19 testing sites,” said Virginia A. Caine, M.D., director and chief medical officer of the Marion County Public Health Department. “Registering in advance will result in shorter lines and a shorter wait time to get tested.”

To register for free COVID-19 testing through the Marion County Public Health Department, please visit MarionHealth.org/indycovid. Residents who do not have Internet access, or need help completing the online application, should call 317-221-5515.

“Our drive-thru testing, along with everyone wearing face coverings, washing hands and social distancing, is a critical part of slowing the spread of COVID-19 in Marion County,” Dr. Caine added.
