Free at-home COVID-19 tests are now available to be shipped to your residence. A mailing address is all that is required. You do not need insurance, a credit card or any other identification.

Residents in zip codes 60302 and 60301 are eligible for free rapid tests (one pack of five tests) through Project ACT. Tests will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis.

The case numbers reported by the Health Department each week reflect only the cases confirmed through an official testing site such a pharmacy, physician's office, health department, school SHIELD testing, etc. If you test positive on a home test and decide not to test at an official testing facility, please alert the Health Department of your positive home test by emailing name, age, zip code and date of positive test to health@oak-park.us. While this won't be included in the official tally, it will help give the Health Department a sense of the number of new cases beyond the official tally it receives from the state.

If you test positive for COVID-19, the Health Department has prepared guidance for our community. Click here for guidance on reporting your case, isolation, symptomatic and asymptomatic cases, treatment, quarantining, and masking.

All who report at-home positive test results will receive COVID-19 education and a free at-home test from the health department, while supplies last.

While at-home test results won't be included in the official tally reported to the community each week, it will help give the Health Department a sense of the number of new cases beyond the official count it receives from the state.
