CLAY COUNTY, Fla. – Testing for COVID-19 hasn’t been readily available in Clay County until this week, and county officials said the demand at some locations has been so high that appointments for some days are no longer available.

A limited amount of testing supplies mean only 120 tests can be administered per day.
