Testing sites shut down amid national unrest

Just as access to COVID-19 tests was ramping up in many areas across the country, some testing sites have been forced to suspend operations because of violence and protests in recent days.

The temporary closures — from California to Florida — are sure to hamper efforts to control the spread of the coronavirus, particularly as social distancing has given way to mass gatherings of potentially contagious people who don't know they're infected.

"The way we move forward with this pandemic is to have testing be as widely available as possible," said Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious-disease physician with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.

"Any disruption to testing is going to make it harder to find cases," he said.
