Rapid COVID Testing this Weekend in Litchfield

The Montgomery County Health Department is offering free COVID-19 rapid testing through Litchfield Family Practice Center, available on Saturdays and Sundays in December from 1-3 p.m. or until 40 tests have been completed, whichever comes first.

According to the health department, the antigen tests will be done in a first come, first served drive-through format. Those tested will be notified of their results the same day, but the health department cautions that a negative rapid test does not qualify a person for a shortened quarantine period under new CDC guidelines.

Those in line waiting for the free tests should not block any entrances or exits; 3 p.m. is the cutoff and anyone still in line at that time will not be tested. Those with questions may contact the health department at 217-532-2001.
