Hollywood Casino Joliet (“Hollywood Casino” or the “Casino”)
announced today that it is partnering with the Illinois Department
of Public Health (“IDPH”) to host a COVID-19 mobile testing program
in the casino’s parking lot. The IDPH will set up and operate the
mobile testing program at Hollywood Casino every Sunday in March
and the first Sunday in April.
“We are incredibly proud to be partnering with the Illinois
Department of Public Health to provide our parking lot as a
COVID-19 testing site to help fight the spread of COVID-19,” said
Lydia Garvey, Vice President and General Manager at Hollywood
Casino Joliet. “Nothing is more important than the health and
well-being of our community as we all work together towards ending
the pandemic.”
The IDPH’s mobile testing program in Hollywood Casino’s parking
lot will take place from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on March 7, March
14, March 20, March 27, and April 3. Individuals seeking COVID-19
tests will not need a photo ID nor need to be showing signs of
symptoms to receive a test. The mobile testing program accepts
insurance, however an insurance card is not necessary to be tested.
For the uninsured or if insurance does not cover the cost of the
test, the state of Illinois will cover the cost.
The COVID-19 mobile testing program will use anterior nares
swabs to test patients, with specimens being shipped to a lab to
run on a polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) testing machine which
makes it possible to detect COVID-19 with a very high degree of
accuracy. Individuals tested will receive a phone call between 4-7
days from the date of their test from the number 888-297-7208.
Patients who miss the call will be requested to call back in order
to receive results as they cannot be left via voicemail.
