In preparation for the possible Tropical storm , the state is closing its testing sites at 5 p.m. this Thursday. Florida’s Division of Emergency Management said today in a news release that its testing sites simply can’t hold up to the threat of a potential tropical storm because they include tents and other objects that are freestanding. The decision was made out of caution to protect the people who need to be tested and those administering the test. Testing sites will begin reopening once the weather passes. The sites are expected to reopen by 8am on Wednesday August 5th at the latest.
