WUFT News News and Public Media for North Central Florida from the University of Florida in Gainesville
The Alachua County Department of Health has partnered with the University of Florida to offer free COVID-19 testing on Saturday at the Southwest Advocacy Group Family Resource Center.
There will be 200 tests available from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis. No symptoms are required to get tested. Testing will be mainly drive-thru, however, walk-ups will be accommodated.
The procedure will include a less invasive nasal swab, which involves inserting a small Q-tip about half of an inch into each nostril.
There is no cost and no appointment required. All ages are welcome.
