FDA-approved swab or antibody tests will be administered to Lake County residents for $20 through May 17. No appointment is needed for the drive-thru testing sites, and residents are required to present proof of residence to qualify for the reduced testing fee.

Testing is limited to two per resident and results will be returned within one to three days after testing. For more information, call the dedicated COVID-19 line at Adult Medicine of Lake County at 352.329.1133.

If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, call your doctor immediately. If you have trouble breathing or other concerning symptoms, call 911 for immediate help. Residents with symptoms who are unable to receive testing through their primary health-care provider or do not have a doctor should call the Florida Department of Health Hotline at 352.742.4830 to schedule an appointment. Individuals will be screened over the phone, and if they meet the criteria for testing, they will be directed to a Lake County testing location.
