  1. Glades county testing is revealing positive rates of over 50% of individuals tested and Hendry county one in three people tested positive. The line today in Hendry county seemed to be from 30 minutes or longer to get the test. What has been your experience? Wait times, time to get results, are your children tested, etc.?
