JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The federally run testing sites at First Coast High School and Frank H. Peterson will permanently close at 6 P.M. on Friday.
Action News Jax reporter Meghan Moriarty reached out to the city of Jacksonville and received this response to the closing. A spokesperson assured that something will be replacing it. The email said “Three more will open very soon and will help serve those areas. We are not ready just yet to formally announce the locations.”
Lot J testing at TIAA Bank Field closed on Wednesday permanently but relocated to the Regency Square Mall in Arlington. You can get tested there between 8 A.M. and 6 P.M.
