ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – After a dayslong pause, free COVID-19 testing is set to resume Tuesday at Econ Soccer Complex in Orange County, according to a news release.

The testing site shut down last week ahead of Tropical Storm Isaias, which was forecast to have significant impacts on Central Florida before it skirted the state at the last minute over the weekend. A number of state-run sites, including the Orange County Convention Center, also temporarily paused operations due to the storm.
