As of close of business Monday, the staff had administered 632,524 tests. The daily testing numbers have surged and sagged as the virus has peaked and ebbed.

“The COVID-19 testing site represents an investment in our community to protect and serve, one that we did not take lightly,” said Director of the FAMU Institute of Public Health Cynthia Harris, Ph.D., who was one of the site’s organizers.

Since its opening, the site has moved from Bragg to Ardelia Court to Wahnish Way, just north of FAMU DRS, where the public can go for tests or vaccines.

The site, open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., averages between 200 and 400 tests a day, said Tanya Tatum, FAMU director of Student Health Services. The site remains vital in the fight against the pandemic, she said.
