ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – As leaders continue to ramp up coronavirus testing efforts throughout the county, health officials say the strategy that has been used to set up and operate testing sites could change as the pandemic winds down.
Orange County Health Officer Dr. Raul Pino said during a news conference Monday that several COVID-19 testing sites scheduled to take place this week still have a lot of availability.
For example, the testing site set up at Independence Elementary School Monday tested 187 patients, 157 of whom scheduled appointments.
The other 30 were walk-in patients. Pino said the site has the capacity to test 500 people per day. [INTERACTIVE MAP: Here’s where to get your drive-thru coronavirus test] Pino said health
