Cumberland halts county-run virus testing sites to focus on vaccinations

Health Director Dr. Jennifer Green said the suspension is merely a manpower issue, noting her staff also is responsible for contact tracing for people who test positive.

"We’re also the same team that is doing the vaccination, and we’re maintaining our normal health department services as well," Green said.

In order to pull that off, she said, her staff has to be able to shift around resources as needed. Right now, the most pressing need is to get doses of coronavirus vaccine into the arms of local health workers and seniors, she said.
