As cases of COVID-19 continue to rise, it is important to get tested if you feel ill or have been exposed to someone who has the virus — even if you're vaccinated.
Walgreens, CVS, and Jewel-Osco — among other well-known stores — offer free testing and vaccines seven days a week.
The Cook County Public Health Department also hosts many locations across the district, which include the following:
ACCESS Genesis Center for Health and Empowerment
1 N. Broadway, Des Plaines // Make an appointment
ACCESS Northwest Family Health Center
1120 N. Arlington Heights Rd., Arlington Heights // Make an appointment

It's disheartening that some people have been taken advantage of when attempting to protect their family by getting a COVID-19 test.
