A mass coronavirus testing site will open on Sunday in Immokalee, according to NBC2.

The National Guard is working with the Collier Department of Health to open the site at the Immokalee Department of Health location on 419 North 1st Street.

Only Immokalee residents will be able to get tested at the site and do not need a doctor's order to get a test, NBC2 said.

The site will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday, Monday and Tuesdays.
