A drive-thru, community-based COVID-19 testing site is now open at the Duke Energy Center for the Arts Mahaffey Theater Parking Garage, 400 1st St. S, St. Petersburg. This site was created through a partnership with the Florida Division of Emergency Management, the Florida Department of Health, Pinellas County, the City of St. Petersburg and the Duke Energy Center for the Arts Mahaffey Theater.  

The City of Largo will continue a regional response to align our public safety initiatives with state and local authorities. Largo Leadership has decided to follow the guidelines in Pinellas County's ordinance requiring face coverings in indoor settings by the public. This decision is based on COVID-19 trending data, the County's leading public health officials, and CDC guidance. Local face covering requirements will be effective on June 26 in all City of Largo facilities.

The City of Largo understands as numbers in Pinellas rise; unfortunately, we will likely have team members with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases. Our goal is to ensure the community is aware of the safety precautions and procedures in place to promote transparency and ensure everyone has the information they need to stay safe and healthy. Information is subject to change pending updates to federal, state, and local guidance.

Alert Pinellas is an invaluable tool used by Pinellas County Emergency Management and the City of Largo to send the community urgent messages through texts, emails and voice calls about a variety of situations.

It is important we stay informed and connected, as a community, during this time. Check out the information below to stay informed and have your questions answered. We are in this together, Largo!
