A massive dump of testing data from Quest Diagnostics -- dating as far back as April -- is skewing the data, the FDOH said. Quest labs have also processed testing samples collected at government-sponsored testing sites or by private medical providers. Theres a lot of these companies that are making huge, huge amounts of money, DeSantis said of the testing labs. But the state clarified the data, saying without the Quest data, the state would have added 3,773 new cases with a positivity rate of 5.9% -- well in line with current trends of the last 7-10 days.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Long lines for COVID-19 testing are becoming a thing of the past as more testing centers open up across the region. But while there are more places to get tested, more labs are still needed to process the tests fast. Thats different from many testing sites that have to send the results to labs across the country. The City of Jacksonville said the turnaround time for Mandarin Senior Center, Oceanway Senior Center, Lane Wiley Senior Center and Leroy D. Clemons Senior center is three to four days. Jim Fortuna Senior Center and the mobile testing site at beaches have had typical turnaround times of seven to 10 days for results.

Following are developments Monday related to the national and global response, the work place and the spread of the virus. Quest Diagnostics is seeing growing demand for its COVID-19 testing services, though at a cost. The company said Monday that second-quarter testing volumes in its base business (excluding COVID-19 molecular and antibody testing) declined approximately 34% from a year ago, according to preliminary results. The company said Monday that the increase was driven by better-than-expected demand for its full-suite of solutions aimed at helping support customers COVID-19 testing needs around the world. PerkinElmer experienced strong demand for its RT-PCR and serology tests, RNA extraction systems and kits, and automated liquid handling instrumentation.
