Drive-thru coronavirus testing site at TIAA Bank Field to waive fever requirement

Jacksonville, FL — Starting Saturday, the federal drive-thru coronavirus testing site at Lot J at TIAA Bank Field will be waiving the fever requirement.

Previously, patients who wanted to be tested had to have an on-site temperature of 99.6 degrees or higher. Instead, patients will only need to exhibit respiratory symptoms or be a first responder or healthcare worker who has direct contact with patients.

While a doctor’s order and appointment are not required, you will be evaluated by a medical professional on site. If you don't meet the requirements, you will not be tested.

If you wish to be tested, you need to follow the following rules:

• Bring your own pen

• Bring a photo ID (first responders and healthcare professionals should bring a work ID)

• Refrain from taking any fever-reducing medicine four to six hours before testing

• Remain inside of vehicle at all times

A maximum of four people per car can be tested.

With long lines expected around the stadium, drivers coming from the Westside should use Bay Street, while drivers coming from the Eastside should use Gator Bowl Boulevard.

The site is open from 9 AM to 5 PM, 7 days a week.
