“Some good news here is that we will keep the Barnett Park open for free testing through March the 31st,” Demings said Monday during a county news briefing. “As you all know, we have said that we were intending to close that testing site at the end of this month, however we’re going to keep it open, through at least March 31.”
The site is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and offers both rapid and PCR virus tests.
If demand is high, the entrance to the site may close early on some days to accommodate all the cars in line.
