The Ohio Department of Health will hold free pop-up COVID-19 testing tonight in Springfield.

Testing will take place from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. today at Rocking Horse Community Health Center, 651 S. Limestone St. in Springfield, according to Nettie Carter-Smith, Director of Community Relations at Rocking Horse.

“The National Guard is partnering with us to test community members every Tuesday evening in September,” Carter-Smith said.

Last week, hundreds of residents were tested at the center’s first clinic, Carter-Smith said.

Testing is available to anyone at no cost with no appointment needed, however, quantities may be limited.
