COLUMBUS, Ohio — Gov. Mike DeWine announced that any Ohioan who wants a COVID-19 test can now receive a test even if they are low-risk or not showing symptoms.
DeWine made the announcement Thursday during his briefing on the virus.
"We’re encouraging anyone that wants a test to talk to their health care provider or contact a testing location to arrange a test. By understanding who is sick, whether they are showing symptoms or not, we are able to better prevent the spread of the COVID-19," he said.
He added that pop-up testing across the state will begin Friday in Columbus.
