After announcing it was expanding its drive-thru COVID-19 testing program into new locations in Colorado, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee last week, Kroger Health has added a testing site in Cincinnati at the Dunham Recreation Center.
This is the first Cincinnati site for Kroger Health and the pop-up will be open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Thursday, April 30 and Friday, May 1 at 4356 Dunham Lane.
To see if you qualify for a test, you can log on to krogerhealth.com/covidtesting and follow the prompts. The questions for the screening were adapted from the CDC. If you qualify, you can schedule and pre-register for a test at a location that is most convenient for you — which in this case is most likely Dunham.
For testing, patients should arrive at the testing facility and remain in their cars with the windows rolled up. Please have your ID ready.
Patients will then be given a kit and use self-administered nasal swabs to collect a specimen. According to Kroger, these collection kits are less painful and designed to increase safety. Results can be expected in 48 hours.
