Rapid testing at PPG depends on the day

The rapid tests we use for COVID testing are in short supply, so we cannot guarantee on any given day that we have rapid tests available. When we get a shipment, it is tending to be 50-100 tests. We average 50-60 tests a day, so that runs out in a day or two. When we run out, we send the swabs to the SMH lab which lately has been turning them around in 24 hours, though at various times that has been as long as 48-72 hours.
