Editor's Note: This story has been updated to correct the dates the sites will be open after the Indiana State Department of Health sent a correction to a previous press release.

INDIANAPOLIS — Beginning Monday, the Indiana State Health Department will host free COVID-19 drive-thru testing clinics at four sites around the state.

According to a release from ISDH, the clinics will run from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Wednesday, or until supplies run out, in Fort Wayne, Gary, Greensburg and Sellersburg.

The testing clinics are open to symptomatic health care workers, first responders and essential workers. Testing will also be available to symptomatic people who live with one of those workers, along with people who have COVID-19 symptoms and underlying medical concerns that put them at higher risk, such as obesity, high blood pressure or diabetes.

Testing will be limited to one person per vehicle. Only Indiana residents who have state-issued identification will be tested.

The locations are:

  • Fort Wayne: Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne - Coliseum Campus, 3800 N. Anthony Blvd.
  • Gary: St. Timothy Church, 1600 W. 25th Ave.
  • Greensburg: Decatur County Fairgrounds, 545 S. Co. Rd. 200 W
