Cook County Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar hosts FREE PCR Testing event Jan 19

Cook County Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar will be joined by Northshore Clinical Labs to administer PCR tests in the district office, free of charge

To increase testing in the 16th District, representatives from Northshore Clinical Labs will be at Cook County Commissioner Frank J. Aguilar’s office to administer free PCR tests.

What: FREE PCR Testing Drive with Commissioner Aguilar’s office and Northshore Clinical Labs

When: Wednesday, January 19th between 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm

Where: Commissioner Aguilar’s District Office, 7833 Ogden Ave., Lyons, Illinois 60534

“While we are extremely proud of the high vaccination rates among 16th District residents, we must always be vigilant to provide proper support to communities throughout our district to stop the spread of COVID-19,” Aguilar said.

“These tests will be free of charge and are open to anyone who wishes to get one. By partnering with Northshore Clinical Labs, we will be able to get the results from processed tests back to our residents in a timely and accurate manner.”

The event time is deliberate as well, as it will allow students to receive tests after school and adults to receive tests after work.
