Indiana is closing its OptumServe COVID-19 testing sites at the end of June. The sites, set up early in the pandemic, have provided more than 541,000 free tests since May of last year.

State contractor OptumServe Health Services was expected to have 50 testing sites operating around Indiana by the end of May. State health commissioner, Dr. Kristina Box, said Wednesday that the company had 35 testing sites open.

The state's award of a $17.9 million contract for operating dozens of coronavirus testing sites across Indiana came weeks after a company executive gave $50,000 to Gov. Eric Holcomb's reelection campaign.

The state's COVID-19 testing partnership with OptumServe Health Services launched Wednesday at 20 sites across the state.

OptumServe Health Services will set up 20 testing sites around the state within the next week, with 50 total sites within two weeks.
