ORLANDO, Fla. – The city of Orlando announced two new, free mobile COVID-19 drive-thru and pedestrian-accessible testing sites that will be available to those wishing to be tested in the coming week.
City officials said the locations for the mobile testing sites were selected to ensure a wide testing coverage of the city and will target locations where a higher number of positive cases have been reported. The new sites will also provide better access for pedestrians and users of other forms of mobility, like biking and public transportation, according to a news release.
