Free COVID-19 Testing Coming To East Cleveland, Euclid

EAST CLEVELAND, OH — Two free COVID-19 testing events will be held in East Cleveland and Euclid this month.

State Rep. Kent Smith announced the events this week. He said attendees can get free COVID-19 tests, register to vote, receive free produce and get information from the Greater Cleveland Food Bank.

Attendees at both events will be required to wear face masks.

The first testing event will be held at Shaw High School, 15320 Euclid Ave., on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The deadline for registration for the event is 5 p.m. Friday. Registration can be conducted online.

The second event will offer only free COVID-19 testing and will be held at C.E. Orr Ice Arena, 25550 Milton Ave. in Euclid. That event will be held Aug. 21 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Registration for the Euclid event can be completed online (with the passcode: EUCLID) or by calling 216-957-3939 Tuesday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.

"I am proud to help bring two free, community checkups to Ohio's 8th House district - one to East Cleveland and then, six-days later, to the City of Euclid. Testing is one of the critical strategies to defeat COVID-19. Unfortunately it has not been available to nearly enough Ohioans. These two events will help change that painful reality," Smith said.
