    Amazing! Flo Rida Opens A COVID-19 Mobile Testing Site

    Flo Rida is ready to get things back on track in the state of Florida.

    The rapper has partnered up with his personal doctor and business partner, Dr. George Tabi to launch Asktabs Mobile Wellness Center, a $1.5 million healthcare venture with a set goal of making sure that healthy people can get back to work as the state is in the process of reopening.

    The mobile has the ability to test up to 1,500 patients a day and will staff up to 14 people. According to reports, the mobile center conducted its first rounds of testing on 30 employees at The Metro Wrapz company in Miami.

    Although the testing sites are available to everyone, the rapper’s main focus at the moment is to make sure that businesses can go back to running properly with its workers going back to work safely and quickly.

    Flo Rida and Dr. Tabi would like to take their mobile center to other cities within Florida as well.
