Coronavirus testing sites in Chicago will be closed for "inclement weather" ahead of a winter storm and cold snap.

City-operated testing sites will remain closed from Friday until Wednesday, according to a notification from the city.

The city will be hit with up to 5 inches of snow starting Thursday afternoon in the third winter storm in two weeks, forecasters warned.
