The Grayson County Health Department (GCHD) has suspended COVID-19 testing.
The GCHD said yesterday, “After doing over 300 tests in seven days, the health department is out of COVID-19 testing kits.” The health department’s supplier is out of coronavirus tests, as well, as the test kits’ manufacturers “are struggling to keep up” with demand.
The suspension of testing will last “until further notice,” the GCHD said.
Because of this, Owensboro Health Twin Lakes Medical Center is experiencing a “high volume of tests,” the hospital said, extending the testing results wait time to 24 to 48 hours.
