Where To Find The New Walk-Up Only Testing Center In Miami-Dade County

Testing will be available to anyone of any age, with or without COVID-19 symptoms, or who believes they may have been in contact with someone who tested positive.

Miami-Dade County’s first walk-up COVID-19 testing location has opened in North Miami at Holy Family Catholic Church, located at 14500 NE 11th Ave. The site will be open Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will test 150 people each day. The location is walk-up only,  making it easier for those who don’t have a car to get tested.

Testing will be available to anyone of any age, with or without COVID-19 symptoms, or who believes they may have been in contact with someone who tested positive for the virus, officials said. They must show some form of  identification proving they reside in Miami-Dade County, such as a valid Driver’s License.

The Florida National Guard and the Florida Department of Health partnered with the county for the site. At the inauguration Florida State Rep. Dotie Joseph said that the walk-up location is not solely a Haitian-American site, but is “geared toward focusing on and making sure that we know that the Haitian community is acknowledged and is being addressed.” And Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez added that the county will be adding more walk-up sites at other locations for residents who do not have cars.
