PINELLAS COUNTY, Florida – You now have fewer positions to take the COVID-1nine in Pinellas County.
Four control sites in Pinellas Park, Clearwater and St. Petersburg operated through pinellas Community Health Centers were forced to approach early Wednesday and Thursday, July 15-16, and most closed on Friday, July 17 and Monday, July 20.
Operators on the COVID-1nine check are experiencing a shortage of check supplies across the country.
Pinellas Community Health Centers performs an average of 360 tests consistent with the Florida Department of Health’s daily records.
So what site closures overwhelm other verification sites?
The Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County and site leaders Tropicana Field and Mahaffey Theater tell ABC Action News that they are well-equipped to look for demand… achieve a flood of other Americans deviated from other sites.
Arelys Escalera, Pinellas County spokesman at the Mahaffey Theatre site, says the evidence is sufficient in sufficient quantities.
“We had enough materials for a daily basis that we made here. We only had to cut off the tail, but not because of the loss of evidence, but because of the diversity of other Americans who were waiting and had to approach at some point.” she said.
Site operators say their peak productive bet for long queues at the Mahaffey Theatre is to arrive after noon when the crowd is lighter.
Gloria Simcic, like thousands of Floridians, is in a desperate race to get tested for COVID-19. Simic has an autoimmune disease, making it more of the virus.
“It seems to be that there’s a lot of people still not getting tested and it’s just one thing I need to do,” she said.
She expects more sites to bother to secure COVID-1nine verification kits.
Tom Iovino, of the Florida Department of Health in Pinellas County, says his verification sites also have a wonderful variety of supplies.
“We are pretty well stocked. We will simply have to continue searching the deployment over the weeks and see how the materials last, however, in this day and age there is never a very big problem for our friends. We have the materials and we are able to skimp. to continue the trials, ” he said.
Pinellas community health centers expect to reopen their testing sites once they are able to replenish.
