ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Officials are hoping more people will get tested for COVID-19 now that more tests are available and the qualifications were expanded at the Orange County Convention Center testing site. [CORONAVIRUS BRIEFING: Daily ClickOrlando.com newsletter delivered to your inbox] Bailey Meyers with the Orange County Sheriff's Office said they are encouraging more people to come out and get tested. "We're trying desperately to give as many tests as possible," Meyers said.
Meyers said they can do that now that the state-run site started offering 750 tests a day earlier this week. That's a huge increase from the initial 250 daily limit when the convention center site opened last month and was operated by the federal government.
