Flagler County drive-thru coronavirus testing site modifying schedule

Flagler County’s community drive-thru coronavirus testing site at Daytona State College Palm Coast campus has modified their schedule, according to county officials.

Next week, testing at 3000 Palm Coast Parkway, will be on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon. After May 25, testing will be on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon, according to a county press release.

The modifications are being made to best allocate resources, according to the release. The testing site continues to be a partnership between Flagler County, Flagler Volunteer Services, the city of Palm Coast, Daytona State College, Florida Department of Health – Flagler and AdventHealth.

“I can’t thank our employees, volunteers, and partners enough, for the dedication of their time and effort to continuing the support of our Community Testing Site.” said Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord. “Without them, we would not have been able to offer this important service to our community.”

Residents of any age who have at least one coronavirus symptom — which includes fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, muscle pain, sore throat and new loss of taste or smell — are eligible for testing at the site.

Residents who meet the criteria for testing can call 386-313-4200 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to complete a short screening process. Coronavirus tests are available by appointment only.

“We encourage anyone who has experienced a symptom of COVID-19, or been in sustained contact with a confirmed COVID-19 positive person, to make an appointment at any of the available testing sites, in and around our community.” said Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord.
