HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — After nearly 40 minutes of delay, the Hillsborough County coronavirus testing reservation line is back up and taking reservations, the county said.
Earlier this morning, the line was temporarily suspended after the county learned a member of the customer service team tested positive for COVID-19.
In a tweet posted just after 8:20 a.m. Wednesday, the county said, "This morning, we were made aware that a member of our Customer Service team tested positive for COVID-19. In an effort to stop the spread within this team and keep our operation moving to serve the community, we are working on options to get our residents testing reservations."
"In addition to providing assistance through a third-party answering service, our team is working on expediting an online reservation service. We are sorry for the inconvenience and ask for your patience at this time."
