Orlando Fire Department first responders will test people who remain in their vehicles or those who walk and bike to the site. The nasal swab samples will be processed by GENETWORx lab. Results should be provided after five days.

“To ensure minimal contact, residents are encouraged to drive-thru with an appointment but residents may also walk and/or bike to the testing site for their appointment,” Orlando public information officer Samantha Holsten said in an email to News 6.

An appointment is required and can be scheduled starting tomorrow at orlando.gov/covid19testing.

If residents don’t get a call within seven days in regards to their test, they can visit www.covid19resultsfl.com or contact the GENETWORx Lab at 850.583.2419.

Additional pedestrian-friendly and drive-up accessible testing sites will be announced soon.
