ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — The new COVID-19 testing site in Downtown St. Augustine will now be free beginning Thursday morning.
The site, which is operated by Flagler Health+ along with the city and Ivy Medical, is located at the St. Augustine Visitor Information Center.
The State of Florida is paying for the tests, allowing the city to give the tests free.
“We are grateful to have found a solution with support from the State of Florida to begin offering COVID tests at no charge to those who need them,” stated Flagler Health+ President & CEO Jason Barrett. “The ability to access COVID-19 testing is an important component to stopping the spread of the virus.”
Anyone who has received a test at the site prior to Thursday and paid for it will receive a refund. People who currently have an appointment will also not be charged.
The site is on the north side of the Historic Downtown Parking Facility. It is open Monday - Friday between 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. While any aged patient can get tested, a parent or guardian must be present for children under 18.
