The demand for testing at the newest pop-up site was so big that more appointments were added for the first two days it operated. The Summit County drive-thru testing site will process more than 300 tests each day. It will run until Dec. 30 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. then resume on January 2.
AKRON, Ohio — The demand for testing at the newest pop-up site in Akron was so big that more appointments were added for the first two days it operated.
"So when a person arrives at our testing site, the first thing you're going to see is our community volunteers. People who are giving their time to help with this effort," said Summa Health spokesperson Michael Bernstein. Finding tests over the last two weeks has been difficult. At-home test kits and appointments at sites like the drive-thru at the Cleveland Clinic were gone within hours, sometimes minutes."Continue to look at the available testing locations," he said."Continue to look at the store for the at-home tests and know that that availability will continue to increase."
With appointments filling up quickly, Bernstein said there are things to do while waiting for results.
