SOUTH SHORE — A coronavirus testing pop-up is planned in South Shore Wednesday.
The free testing site is coming to Parkside Elementary Community Academy at 6938 S. East End Ave. The site will be open 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
Walkup testing will be conducted at the site. It is open to all and free.
The coronavirus testing site is sponsored by Parkside Community Academy Local School Council and Near North Health Service Corporation.
Anyone with questions can contact Dixon Romeo 312-880-7256.
Other mass vaccination sites are closing down soon, though, including those at Kennedy-King, Daley and Wilbur Wright colleges and Chicago State University.
The traffic changes, set to begin Aug. 13, will be temporary as the city plans to shutter Cornell Drive through the park by mid-2023.
People getting vaccinated means there have been fewer coronavirus cases — and resulting deaths — in Chicago.
The drama began when aldermen were asked to consider Mayor Lori Lightfoot's appointment of Celia Meza as Chicago’s corporation counsel earlier than expected. City Council is “not a council of order anymore,” one alderman said.
