Covid-19 Testing in Hillsborough County

Here is an update from our local county government about testing sites that are now open.  You may wish to inform your employees about it if they or their families develop symptoms and would like to get tested.


Hillsborough County is doing limited drive-thru testing.
Drive-thru testing will ONLY be administered to symptomatic individuals who have pre-registered and have scheduled an appointment through Hillsborough County's call center at (813) 272-5900. The call center is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Testing will take place at one of the County's testing sites. However, testing will not proceed without an appointment.
Testing Locations
  • Raymond James Stadium, 4201 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa | You must arrive in a personal vehicle.
  • Lee Davis Community Resource Center, 3402 N. 22nd St., Tampa | offers drive-through testing, but a vehicle is not required.
  • Plant City Community Resource Center, 307 N. Michigan Ave., Plant City | offer drive-through testing, but a vehicle is not required.
  • SouthShore Community Resource Center, 201 14th Ave. SE, Ruskin | offer drive-through testing, but a vehicle is not required.
Pre-Screening and Pre-Registration Are Required:
  • Residents may get tested if they have been pre-screened and meet testing guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and the Florida Department of Health.
  • Residents also must be pre-registered through the Hillsborough County call center at (813) 272-5900, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • People who do not have a designated primary care physician or are uninsured are eligible for pre-screening and pre-registration through the call center.
  • There is no charge for the test administered at Hillsborough County locations.
  • Should a test be scheduled for you, you will be informed of time, date, and testing location during this call.
What to Bring:
  • You must arrive in a personal vehicle. Due to the increased risk of contamination as well as current shortages of personal protective equipment, walk-ups are not permitted at this time.
  • Each person to be tested must be seated next to a working window.
  • Limit vehicle passengers to those needing a test.
  • Have a photo ID with name and date of birth for all persons being tested (can be Florida driver's license, state-issued ID, or passport).
  • Bring the CORRECT confirmation code provided by the call center; this can be a printed copy of the testing confirmation email received from the call center, a screen-shot of the confirmation number, or the code may be provided verbally. A printed code or screen-shot on the phone helps the process, but is not required.
You will be required to provide the following information:
  1. Full name
  2. Current address (where you are staying)
  3. Best phone number to reach you in order to receive test results
