November 5, 2020 – The Illinois Department of Public Health is urging anyone who may have been exposed to COVID-19 on election day to get tested. State Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike says if you were a poll worker, waited in line to vote, or participated in any rallies or protests, that it is a good idea to go and get a test.
Ezike says it can take up to two weeks to show infection. She says that there are 11 community testing sites across the state, and mobile units where you don’t need to show symptoms, make an appointment, or have insurance to get tested.
