Ocala, Fla. — The Florida Department of Health in Marion County announces local COVID-19 testing opportunities are being expanded.

Starting Jan. 29, the provider will make testing available from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays at the First Baptist Church of Ocala. Those hours will continue until further notice.

CovidTestFL.Org also will maintain its regular hours for free drive-through testing. That takes place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the church, 2801 SE Maricamp Road.
