Residents can choose from seven locations within the county. Online appointments can be made here: hcflgov.net/covidtesting.
"The online reservation system will allow residents to avoid waiting on the phone for a call center agent and should reduce the time on hold for those making reservations by phone," according to a county press release.

Reservations. can still be made by phone: 888-513-6321.
