INDIANAPOLIS — Eli Lilly is expanding their drive-thru COVID-19 testing service to essential workers who have regular contact with the public as part of their jobs and Hoosiers who are considered vulnerable and are showing symptoms of the virus.

Beginning April 1, Eligible Hoosiers who have made an appointment and have a physicians written order will be tested at Lilly's drive-thru testing site. There is no charge for the test.

Lilly's drive-through COVID-19 testing will not be available to members of the general public.
