Beginning Thursday, January 27, 2022, the COVID-19 testing site, located at the Volusia County Fairgrounds in Deland, will transition from a testing and vaccination site to a free at-home testing kit distribution site. Each kit contains two rapid antigen tests per box with a limit of two test kits per person.

According to county officials, the site is phasing out COVID-19 vaccinations and will longer have staff administering tests at the fairgrounds.

Five hundred test kits per day will be available on a “first-come, first-served” basis.

The hours of operation at the Fairgrounds will remain the same: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and reservations are not required for individuals to receive a test kit.
