FedEx Field, the home of the NFL’s Washington Redskins, will become a COVID-19 testing site amid the increase in coronavirus cases in the area, the franchise announced Saturday. Maryland National Guard was seen in the parking lot outside the stadium setting up tents as the health department in Prince George’s County and the state of Maryland partner to create a screening system for the Landover, Md., site.
The National Guard said the tents seen outside the stadium were a first step in “larger effort to establish clinics where initial health screenings will be conducted and eventually where onsite testing will take place once that option becomes fully available,” according to FOX 5 DC.
Maryland reported 50 more coronavirus cases and three deaths Sunday, according to FOX 5 DC. Most of the cases were reported in Montgomery County. Prince George’s County has 40 cases.
