COVID-19 testing availability remains a challenge despite help from new mass testing sites with the Ohio National Guard.
AKRON, Ohio — With the ongoing surge of COVID-19 cases spreading across Northeast Ohio, health officials are making it a priority to get everyone tested.“We don’t have enough testing available,” said Donna Skoda, health commissioner of Summit County Public Health.
“Each day we're going to be able to do about 300 tests, and we're hopeful that some of our other rapid home tests will come in and we'll be able to supplement with that for some folks,” said Skoda.
