Lake County has partnered with Adult Medicine of Lake County, the City of Leesburg, Lake Sumter State College and the Florida Department of Health to offer COVID-19 testing at three locations in Lake County at a reduced cost.
“This partnership will help to expand testing availability by providing affordable testing in multiple locations throughout the county,” said Lake County Chairman Leslie Campione. FDA approved swab or antibody tests will be administered to Lake County residents for $20 through May 17. The sites will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at:

Testing is limited to two per resident and results will be returned within 1 to 3 days after testing. Adult Medicine of Lake County offers swab or antibody tests for $85 for non-residents. No appointment is needed for the drive-thru testing sites and residents are required to present proof of residence to qualify for the reduced testing fee.
