PINELLAS COUNTY, FL. – As the number of positive COVID-19 cases continue to rise, a no-appointment testing site will open in Pinellas on Monday, Aug. 9, to meet the additional demand.
COVID-19 antigen testing will be available at no cost from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week (until further notice), at the Center for Health Equity, 2333 34th St. S., St. Petersburg.
