(LaPorte, IN) - Free COVID-19 testing is still being provided locally.  The state is scheduled to continue conducting the free testing at the Civic Auditorium in La Porte through the end of this month.

After September, the state will provide funding for local officials to take over the  testing.  La Porte County Commissioner, Dr. Vidya Kora, says where future testing will occur Is one of the things being worked on right now.  He says the goal is to offer free testing locations in La Porte and Michigan City and perhaps a mobile testing location.

Currently, free testing at the Civic Auditorium is happening Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
