County of Manatee recently issued the following announcement.
The Florida Department of Health in Manatee County and Manatee County Government have teamed up to offer an additional location for COVID-19 testing.
The new site will be south of the SUNZ insurance building in the parking lot located at 1301 8th Avenue W in Downtown Bradenton.
This new location will begin operations at 7 a.m. Wednesday, January 19, 2021 and will be open from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. seven days a week. It is a walk-up operation, and no appointments are necessary. Clients can pre-register online.
Visitors are asked to bring proof of Florida residency (driver’s license, utility bill with Florida address, etc.).
This site is in addition to the ongoing COVID-19 testing site at the Bradenton Area Convention Center. That location — in the southwest parking lot of 1 Haben Boulevard in Palmetto — operates 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. seven days a week.
Testing is free of charge in both locations.
