Whiteside County Health Department Drive-Up No Appointment Necessary SHIELD Testing Reopens July 6th

July 1, 2022 – The Whiteside County Health Department (WCHD) Drive-Up No Appointment Necessary SHIELD Testing will reopen following our normal Monday through Friday schedule on July 6th, 2022 thanks to support from the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and University of Illinois System’s SHIELD Illinois program.

WCHD is pleased we will be able to continue offering SHIELD IL Saliva COVID-19 tests to Whiteside and surrounding communities free of charge. SHIELD IL tests are highly accurate PCR tests with results currently expected within 24 hours in patients' online account. WCHD hopes continued easy access to testing will allow  individuals to test as soon as symptoms develop and help decrease transmission by identifying cases early.

Individuals interested in testing should set up a SHIELD IL account before testing.
