Governor Ron DeSantis announced yesterday that two walk-thru testing sites will open tomorrow in Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach. The sites will cater to those who don’t have cars, but it’s only for those showing symptoms who make an appointment.

The sites will open for testing on Saturday and will start with 200 tests per day, DeSantis said.
The governor will be in South Florida today for the opening of the new walk-through testing sites.
