CenturyLink COVID-19 testing site opens, runs out of tests before noon first day

A free drive-thru COVID-19 testing site opened Monday at CenturyLink Sports Complex in Lee County near Daniels Parkway and Six Mile Cypress Parkway.

If you want to get tested, all you need to do is pull up in your car and follow their instructions.

You don’t need an appointment or a doctor’s note, and you don’t even need to be showing any symptoms.

They can do up to 400 viral tests a day. And, if your results come back positive, typically within a few days, the Florida Department of Health will contact you.

They also have a team dedicated to coronavirus contact tracing.

That team will interview people who test positive to figure out who else might have been exposed. Not only does the test give you answers but it also helps the county keep an eye on the numbers and make informed decisions as places start to open back up.
