Local pediatricians have been sending patients to Lot J for COVID-19 testing only to be turned away

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Local pediatricians have been sending their patients to Lot J to get tested for the coronavirus only to be turned away.

After struggling to get answers as to why, because Lot J was supposed to be accepting all ages, Action News Jax set out to get answers.

We learned that the state changed its criteria back to 18 and up nearly three weeks, but the city was not aware of the change in criteria.

Watch tonight on Action News Jax at 11 to find out what the new criteria is and where you can go to get free testing for kids under the age of 18.
