JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – As the year ends and efforts of state and local authorities shift resources to providing vaccinations, there have been some changes to testing for COVID-19.
The Monday before Christmas, the Regency Square site set a record for most tests in a single day, with 3,499 tests completed. The Florida-funded site is well-known, free to any resident of the state and a popular choice for patients looking to get tested.
