A free community COVID-19 testing event will be held July 7-9 in Cole County to help determine the number of people who have asymptomatic or presymptomatic infections - people who don't feel sick or have not yet gotten sick but are nonetheless carrying and potentially unknowingly spreading the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
