A drive through testing center at the Orange County Convention Center parking lot will open midweek. 

WMFE visited the parking lot where the testing site is being set up.  

A few national guardsmen are patrolling the Destination Parking Lot where the drive thru testing center will open. 

A single white tent greets drivers at the entrance to the lot where people will check in.

The Florida National Guard is in charge of managing the site. The center is expected to open Wednesday. Only people with symptoms in line with CDC guidelines will be tested.
