ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – A new mobile coronavirus testing site opened at Jay Blanchard Park Monday, marking the first of five slated to start accepting patients this week in Orange County.
Kent Donahue from the Florida Deptartment of Health said the goal is to do 200 to 250 tests per day at each of the five new mobile testing sites.
Thus far, 120 appointments are scheduled for Monday. “We want to make sure we are quick and active to what we need to get out in the community to make sure people get tested,” Donahue said.
Patients can walk, drive, bicycle or take public transportation to the location but they must have an appointment in order to have a nasal or throat swab performed.
