Drive-thru and walk-up COVID-19 testing centers have opened across Miami-Dade and Broward as cases surge.

Some of the sites are drawing massive lines and quickly running out of test kits. Prepare to be patient, bring a photo ID, pack some snacks, and fill your gas tank before you go.

If you're without a car, you can still be tested at a handful of walk-up sites. Here are some of the places performing public COVID-19 testing in South Florida:
