The Hamilton County Health Department is opening two new COVID-19 testing sites starting Tuesday as testing for infection amid the global coronavirus pandemic continues to expand in the county.
The health department is no longer testing at its Bonnyshire Drive location and instead moved operations to East Lake Academy and Hardy Elementary this week. Drive-thru or walk-up testing will run from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. at both sites.
