COVID 19 tests available at Agape Family Health and the Florida Department of Health in Duval County

By Lucia Viti

COVID-19 testing available at Agape Family Health and the Florida Department of Health Duval County — As COVID-19 cases continue to rise, local health care facilities are once again opening public testing sites. Many mass-testing locations closed last spring due to a down tick of numbers as more and more people became vaccinated. However, as the Delta variant now wreaks havoc on the surge of new cases, more people are looking for alternatives to expensive, at-home testing kits or back-logged pharmacies and public health institutions that require symptomatic patients.

Agape Family Health and the Florida Department of Health in Duval County are now offering free, on site COVID-19 testing, regardless of symptoms, to anyone interested. Picture ID’s are required.
