COVID-19 Testing For All Age Groups at R.L. Taylor Community Center

Coconut Telegraph

No appointments or prescriptions are necessary, and individuals can walk or park their vehicles at the community complex located at 1845 34th St. "Any age group can get tested. We have a less invasive testing procedure now. The Q-tip is about as long as a regular Q-tips. It goes inside the nasal passage. It's free and you don't need a physician's notice which used to be required. You don't have to be ill that was once a requirement. We just hope that the community will come out and participate in this" says Wayne Balcom who is the Testing Site Incident Commander. Anyone can receive free testing regardless of residency or symptoms. The site will be open daily from 9 am to 6 pm or until the capacity of 200 tests per day is reached.
