Hays County announced that state supported COVID-19 testing sites will come to an end in July. CPL, the lab supporting these testing efforts, has temporarily closed to catch up processing tests, hoping to reopen next week.
CPL is still processing first responder tests and limiting the number of tests for citizens. Large labs are backlogged across the region, according to Emergency Management Coordinator Alex Villalobos.
“It has really put us in a bind with them being closed down for general public testing. As far as the total number of tests, we have 251 of the 1300 tests remaining. So we will need to replace those for our health department,” said Director of Operations Tammy Crumley.
