Mayor Heidi Herzberg and our partners in Volusia County government have brought a Nomi Health, COVID-19 testing site to the Dewey O. Boster Sports Complex. The site is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Appointments are recommended and can be made online; drop-ins are also welcome. Nomi Health will have clinical workers on-site to perform a shallow nasal PCR swab or rapid antigen test on patients. The tests are available for symptomatic and asymptomatic patients ages one and older. Patients can expect results for the PCR test within 24 to 48 hours and results for the rapid antigen test within 20 to 40 minutes. There is no charge for the test, but patients will be asked for health insurance information. Patients without health insurance will not be turned away.
