Orange County has expanded COVID-19 testing at Barnett Park through August 31st as coronavirus cases continue to rise in the area.
Orange County officials reported an 11.2 percent rolling 14-day positivity rate, more than double what it was three weeks ago.
The county reported some 2,051 new COVID-19 cases since last Friday alone. One hundred percent of those new cases are in unvaccinated people.
Both residents and non-residents can get tested for free at the site from 9 am until 5 pm, 7 days a week now through August 31st.
