Osgood, IN—COVID-19 testing is slated to start next week at the Ripley County Fairground according to Mayor Mike Bettice. Click here for the latest map of all testing sites in the State. The locations of drive-thru clinics change frequently, so please check the map above to see if there’s a drive-thru clinic near you. One test per vehicle, Indiana residents only (please bring proof of residency).
Healthcare providers may order a test for any patient who needs one based on their clinical evaluation. ISDH will continue to focus on testing our highest-risk Hoosiers so that we can continue to quickly provide results needed to protect the most vulnerable residents. Those individuals include:
- Anyone who is admitted to the hospital whose physician is concerned that their symptoms are consistent with COVID-19.
- Symptomatic healthcare workers (inpatient, outpatient, nursing home, and other long-term service facilities) and first responders who provide direct care to at-risk patients.
- Symptomatic long-term care facility residents or staff who have direct contact with patients.
- Persons experiencing homelessness.
- Patients who expire with suspected COVID-19 symptoms.
- Patients and staff at correctional facilities
- Patients age 65 and older with symptoms consistent with COVID-19.
- Patients with underlying health conditions with symptoms of COVID-19, including lung or heart disease, or who are immunocompromised, obese or pregnant women.
If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 and develop a fever and symptoms, such as cough or difficulty breathing, call your healthcare provider for medical advice. If you have a medical appointment, call your doctor’s office or emergency department, and tell them you have or may have COVID-19. This will help the office protect themselves and other patients. You can also consult a healthcare provider through telehealth if that is an option.
