A COVID-19 testing site outside of Sangamon County Health Department.

SIU Medicine will not be offering COVID-19 testing Thursday or Friday nights in the parking lot of the Sangamon County Department of Public Health, a county spokesman confirmed to NPR Illinois.

Testing will be available Friday morning, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

SIU Medicine, which relaunched the site early this week, is running low on testing supplies, according to county spokesman Jeff Wilhite. More than 200 people were tested on Thursday morning.

The site has been running two slots for testing, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

This story will be updated.
