One of the most frequent questions we get is, “Where can I get a COVID test?” With over 1,198 positive cases in Tamarac as of July 24, residents are concerned they may have been exposed.
Thanks to The Division of Emergency Management which has compiled a comprehensive list of testing centers, residents can walk up to several sites, without an appointment.
Residents need to make sure to wear a mask, bring a driver’s license, and in some cases, be prepared to wait.
