Publix In Florida Will Add Coronavirus Testing To Their Stores

Soon you’ll be able to test for Coronavirus at your local Publix Supermarket.

This seems weird, yet convenient. I’m sure it will be at the Publix stores that have the clinic. I can’t imagine they would do it just at the pharmacy. The state said Publix, Home Depot and CVS are a few of the stores becoming testing sites. Each of the stores can test up to 100 people per day. According to Bay News Nine, Governor Ron DeSantis said adding in more testing sites at places where people are shopping will help figure out where the cases are. Publix and Home Depot will be adding three sites each across the state.
