ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – By lunchtime at Barnett Park Thursday drivers didn’t have to wait more than 5 minutes to get tested for COVID-19, compare that to a more than 2 hour wait in early January.
In fact, on Jan. 25, the site reached capacity at 1:45 p.m. “We have seen a little bit of a slow down at Barnett Park,” Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said.
The lines looked similar at the statewide testing site at the Orange County Convention Center Thursday afternoon. According to state officials on Wednesday the site administered 1,859 tests compared to the week between Christmas and New Year’s they were administering more than 2,500 a day.
