Vials with samples taken for the new coronavirus are seen before they are prepared for RNA testing.

Two coronavirus testing sites in Jacksonville will be temporarily closed on Election Day.

The testing sites at the Mandarin and Leroy D. Clemons Senior Centers will be suspended Tuesday to make room for voter parking.

The centers are both Duval County polling locations.

The Mandarin Senior Center and its annex at 3848 Hartley Rd. are the polling locations for precincts 611 and 614. The Leroy D. Clemons Senior Center at 55 Jackson Ave. N. is the polling location for precinct 1203.

The testing sites will reopen and resume normal hours of operation (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.) on Wednesday.
