WESTLAKE, Ohio — The Westshore Campus of Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) is offering free drive-thru COVID-19 testing this week.
Tri-C students, faculty, staff and community members have the opportunity to be tested for COVID-19 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 7.
No appointment is needed. Testing is done on a first-come, first-serve basis and is open to all.
“All you need to do is show up. We wanted to make this as easy and convenient for people as possible. So, what we are asking people to do is to bring a photo ID with a current address and that's important for tracing, for the tracing process. So, a driver's license, any kind of government or military ID will do. We also need a social security number and if you have health insurance we ask you to bring your health insurance card. If you don't have health insurance that's fine you'll go ahead and be tested anyway,” said Jenny Febbo, vice president of Integrated Communications at Tri-C.
Tri-C is offering the free drive-thru testing event in partnership with Care Alliance Health Center.
The college held similar testing events from August through December.
Officials estimate an average of about 100 people has been tested each week.
The testing will rotate college sites every Thursday through April 29.
