JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – There was concern that funding to operate five free COVID-19 testing sites in Duval County would end in two weeks.
Jacksonville City Council members were told Monday that the two locations run by the Florida Department of Health in Duval County will be allowed to remain open until at least December, and the three sites operated by the city will have funding until the end of October.

The five sites were opened last month as a result of long lines and two- to three-hour wait times at the health department’s Springfield location. Now, with signs of the surge slowing down, those waiting times are now just a matter of minutes and not hours.
