ST. PETERSBURG, Fla — The COVID-19 testing site at Tropicana Field is temporarily closed for the rest of the day, Pinellas County officials say. 

Leaders say a high volume of people looking to get tested at the site prompted the early closure. There is currently a two-hour wait for those already at the site. Staff says they want to make sure those waiting will be able to be tested today. 

The site will reopen Wednesday at 8 a.m.
