CHICAGO – State Senator Ram Villivalam (D-Chicago), State Rep. John D’Amico (D-Chicago), Commissioner Bridget Degnen and Alderperson Samantha Nugent are partnering to bring a remote COVID testing site to Northeastern Illinois University this Tuesday and Wednesday.

“We are facing an unprecedented public health crisis that has tragically impacted numerous families in our community and has exhausted our frontline workers,” Villivalam said. “Even though there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel, we must stay vigilant. I encourage everyone to get tested at NEIU these next two days. No symptoms, insurance or appointments are required.”
