VIERA, Fla. – Drivers lined up Monday at the Brevard County Health Department to be tested for coronavirus.
Drive-thru nasal swabs were taken from people experiencing symptoms like a cough, shortness of breath and fever. Staci Spinelli made an appointment after she said she started having a sore throat and headaches last week.
The health department reported Monday there are now 88 positive cases in Brevard and Spinelli said a person in her family was the second case in Merritt Island.
Spinelli described the swab as being a bit uncomfortable but over quickly. “It took about 10 seconds. They put the swab all the way up your nose and have to do three turns,” she said.
