MARION COUNTY, Fla. — Right now, COVID-19 testing is going on in Marion County at two sites, one in Ocala, the other in The Villages.

You must have an appointment to come through the drive-thru testing at Premiere Medical Associates.

Those with appointments can drive up, and medical professionals come out and swab you.

Officials at the medical office said the first step if you think you have the virus is to first schedule a telemedicine visit with a doctor.

Premiere Medical Associates takes all insurance, and it said you don’t have to be an existing patient to take part. But supplies of the COVID-19 tests are limited.

Premiere Medical Associates said it plans to open up two additional testing sites, one in Orange County and one in Osceola County, next week.
