BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – The availability of COVID-19 testing in Brevard could expand rapidly as a new drive-through facility capable of testing 500 people a day is set to open next Tuesday.
The Florida Department of Health on Tuesday announced a drive-through testing operation was opening in Brevard, reports News 6 partner Florida Today.
On Tuesday, a new site run by OMNI Healthcare will join it, OMNI Health announced in a Thursday press release. Drive-through testing sites have opened across the country as a way to test people for the virus while minimizing contact.
Patients roll down their windows to receive a nose swab without leaving their cars. If OMNI successfully pulls off the opening, Brevard's testing numbers could shoot up quickly.
