How the Testing Process Works?

PEKIN — About 15,000 specimens are tested daily for COVID-19 at Reditus Laboratories in Pekin. These specimens come from testing sites throughout the state. Here is a summary of the process. A trained staff member administers the nasal swab specimen collection or proctors the specimen collection if it is self-administered by the patient. In this photo, Jack Knight, of Morton, an employee of Peoria Public Schools District 150, is swabbed by Billie Jo Nebergall, a phlebotomist, on Jan. 12, 2021.
