Commissioner Diaz supports Commissioner Martinez’s request for a Coronavirus Testing Center at Youth Fair Grounds

MIAMI – Miami-Dade County Commissioner Jose “Pepe” Diaz is joining Commissioner Joe A. Martinez in his request for a coronavirus testing site to be established at the Youth Fair Grounds amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As one of the Commissioners whose district directly abuts Commissioner Martinez’s district, I believe that a testing site in the West Dade area is essential for Miami-Dade County,” Commissioner Diaz said. “A test site in this location would not only serve the constituents of District 11 but also those who live in Districts 12, 10 and 6. Currently the residents who live in Sweetwater and the unincorporated Dade area, most of whom are elderly, are at an extreme disadvantage when it comes to getting tested. A testing site located at the fairgrounds provides a central location for West Dade and would provide much needed relief to the area.”
