New COVID-19 testing site opens at Ruth Eckerd Hall

CLEARWATER, Fla. - With demand still high for coronavirus testing in the Tampa Bay area, more testing sites are opening, including one in Clearwater.

BayCare has setup a new drive-through site at Ruth Eckerd Hall's parking lot to make it easier for people in northern and central Pinellas County to get tested. The site will run from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. 

It will be first-come, first serve and while supplies last. People are encouraged to bring a referral from a doctor.

If they don't have one, they'll be screened first based on CDC guidelines.
