To provide access to more members of the community, the Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County (DOH-Pinellas) is partnering with the Pinellas County Urban League on a series of Saturday COVID-19 pop-up testing events from now until Oct. 3. Hours are 8-11 a.m. at each.

For information about testing, call the Urban League’s COVID 19 Testing Hotline at 888-320-9077. Testing in Pinellas is at these locations:

The events provide testing at no cost in areas where there are a disproportionate number of residents without access to transportation; those in cars or on foot can be tested and they can be asymptomatic.

The first event was in Greater Ridgecrest on Aug. 15 and others will follow in Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Tarpon Springs. The testing locations are also listed on the DOH-Pinellas Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/HealthyPinellas/events. The Saturday, Oct. 3 event’s site will be determined later based on community response.
