BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) – Geaux Get Tested, that is what the mayor’s office would like everyone to do in the near future.

Those sites include:
- Lamar Dixon Expo
- Cortana Mall
- Alex Box Stadium
- FG Clark at Southern
- Healing Place Church on Highland Road
COVID-19 testing site coordinator Kim Hood believes that the testing sites will stay open until August 2nd or August 5th.
