The site at Mall at Millenia will be open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is not expected to be a limit on testing supplies at either location.

The tests will be available to anyone who meets the criteria for testing, as set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The criteria for testing have recently expanded to include anyone who has had close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, even if they are not currently experiencing symptoms.

A doctor’s order is not required for testing.
