Jacksonville, FL — Large tents are going up in the parking lot at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville as preparations are underway for drive-up coronavirus testing.
Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry says additional mobile testing sites and local hospitals are setting up mobile and rapid testing sites.
“Health experts and leaders tell me we will be testing over 1,000 people per day by the end of the week”, Curry said.
Pre-screening will be needed, and as more details roll out on drive-up testing we will update you here, and on 104.5 FM, WOKV.

The President @realDonaldTrump and Governor @GovRonDeSantis are setting up mobile testing in our city this week. We are also setting up an additional mobile testing site and local hospitals are setting up mobile and rapid testing sites.

Aquí me colega compartió un vídeo del estadio TIAA Bank donde personas con ciertos síntomas podrán recibir un examen de #coronavirus. Habrán dos localidades en la ciudad de #jacksonville. https://t.co/x2cZdeV4gn
