COVID-19 testing site at Barnett Park delayed due to Tropical Storm Laura

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – The coronavirus testing site at Barnett Park will open one day later than originally planned next week due to the threat of Tropical Storm Laura.

Anyone 12 and older can get tested for free regardless of whether they have symptoms as long as they make an appointment online here.

Results are expected within three to five days.

As of Friday afternoon, Tropical Storm Laura is expected to be a Category 1 hurricane off Florida’s west coast early next week.
