Several D.C.-area coronavirus testing sites are closed Tuesday due to Hurricane Isaias.
Most of the area is under a tropical storm warning, as Isaias — which was upgraded to hurricane status Monday night as it headed toward the Carolinas — is expected to bring torrential rain and risk of flooding Tuesday.
Because of the impending stormy weather, all coronavirus testing sites in D.C., including testing sites at fire houses, are closed. Firehouse testing is canceled for Tuesday.
Due to the incoming tropical storm, the following are closed tomorrow, Tuesday, August 4:
-All meal distribution sites
-All COVID-19 testing sites, including fire stations
-All grocery distribution sites
