From Cuyahoga to Huron to Lake County, COVID testing sites and test distributions continue to be in high demand, with long lines forming and supply dwindling.
PARMA, Ohio — Health officials at the one-day testing site Wednesday morning at the Lake County Fairgrounds were forced to cut the line short just over an hour after the first car came through.
The overwhelming demand for testing in Lake County follows similar demand seen at the COVID testing site near University Circle in Cleveland last week. The federally-funded Center for COVID Control has also experienced a large spike in demand at its Parma testing site on Chevrolet Boulevard, according to supervisor Charity Ward.
