Coronavirus testing site at UCF opens

The new testing site opened on Monday morning at the University of Central Florida.

The University of Central Florida (UCF) is partnering with Aventus Biolabs to offer on-campus coronavirus testing.

Testing began at 9 a.m. on Monday inside UCF's Garage A.

Testing is open to anyone in the community. However, in a news release, Aventus said that "to receive an appointment, individuals must be prescreened by a healthcare provider and prescribed a test."

It then added that "when individuals drive up for their appointment, a testing swab designated specifically for them is readily available, and the test is completed in about 10 minutes."
