Where To Get A Coronavirus Test In Cleveland
The Color of Health initiative brings COVID-19 testing to under-served areas of Cleveland.
CLEVELAND — There will be five more COVID-19 testing sites hosted in under-served areas throughout Cleveland this month.
The Color of Health initiative, launched by the Greater Cleveland Congregations, is designed to improve access to coronavirus testing for Cleveland residents. The congregations previously protested the lack of testing sites offered by pharmacy chains within Cleveland's borders.
"Our community is in dire need of support to overcome the negative economic, emotional and physical effects of COVID-19," Rev. James Quincy said in a statement when the initiative launched. "We are working to deliver critical support."
