ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – The Florida Department of Health in Orange County confirms wrong information was communicated on the Spanish language version of their COVID-19 hotline.
Orange County Commissioner Mayra Uribe told News 6 she was first alerted about the issue over the weekend, when some of her constitutents -- who had inquired about being tested for the coronavirus -- reached out to her by phone and on social media. "They were telling us that when they called, it said that they had to have symptoms," Uribe said.
The DOH had previously announced that residents no longer needed to display symptoms in order to be tested for the coronavirus.
