Ledge Light Health District said COVID-19 testing in Stonington will be limited this afternoon.
“As we have seen across the state and country, the demand for COVID testing has exceeded capacity in our region,” Ledge Light Health District said in a statement.
They said the lab is still processing samples collected last week and is restricting the number of samples it is collecting this week.
Testing events have been closed much earlier than the published end times and far fewer people have been able to be tested because of it. “We understand and share the frustration our community members are experiencing and agree that testing capacity needs to be increased. We appreciate everyone's understanding and support for the team staffing the testing events, who have no control over the current circumstances,” Ledge Light Health District said in a statement.
