COVID-19 tests results have been significantly backlogged across the state due to increased testing and supply shortages, contributing to lagging data.
After a temporary suspension of public testing at Premier ER and Urgent Care and temporary closures of nationwide labs like CPL due to backlogs, CPL labs has caught up and resumed normal processing, while Premier ER and Urgent Care has still suspended testing, except for first responders, due to significant supply shortages in the state.
However, Hays County residents are still wondering why their COVID-19 test results are taking so long. Results are taking anywhere from 2 to 25 days according to various reports from city and county officials.
