■ Where to find drive-thru testing in South Florida.
Testing at mobile coronavirus sites will be limited to individuals who meet the current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, which have been broadened as the virus has spread:
■ Older adults and people who have severe underlying chronic medical conditions who have fever, cough or any type of respiratory distress.
■ Any people — including healthcare workers — who within 14 days of symptom onset had contact with a suspected or confirmed coronavirus patient.
■ Any people with history of travel from an affected area or an area with community spread.
Locations
Many of the drive-thru test sites are available by appointment only, and all sites depend on the availability of test kits.
