DAYTON — Two pop-up testing sites focused on minority access will be offered in Xenia and Dayton this week.

“The COVID-19 Minority Health Strike Force has worked with local partners to create pop-up testing sites in communities where access to testing may be limited,” said Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.

“By joining with the Ohio National Guard and other local partners, we can provide tests to any Ohioan who wants one. With a better understanding of COVID-19 through increased testing, we’ll be better able to prevent its spread.”

Five Rivers Health Centers is hosting both sites:

  • The Xenia site, 360 Wilson Drive, will be open Wednesday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • The Dayton site, 921 S. Edwin C. Moses Boulevard, will be open Thursday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

No appointment is needed at either site and the coronavirus test is free.

The first 200 cars at each testing site will get the added benefit of receiving a Community Wellness Kit that includes face coverings, hand sanitizer and sanitizing spray.

Five Rivers Health Center asks that you bring a driver’s license or a state I.D. and an insurance card if you have one.

Pre-registration is encouraged and is available at https://www.fiverivershealthcenters.org/.
