ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said not enough coronavirus tests have been administered in the county.
Demings said as of Monday, 16,732 tests have been administered in Orange County. "Here in Central Florida, we don’t enough have tests, we don’t have enough testing kits,” he said.
In the best scenario, Demings said he wishes the county could have 10-15 mobile sites opened at the same time. He added Orange County is dependent on a state supply chain, most of the testing has been administered from private testing.
Demings said someone could be waiting for a testing site to be closer to their home or they have a lack of transportation to get to a site.
