MIAMI (CBSMiami) – "More than 400 people were tested for coronavirus Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium. But for some of those people, this is not their first time being tested. The wrong kind of test kits were used on some people in the first two days of testing.

 

“There were some tests that were done in specimen collection kits that were n out viral, they were bacterial. You can’t test for a virus in a bacterial culture,” Mike Jachles said. Jachles is the chair of the Florida Association of Public Information Officers.

In a statement to CBS 4 News, the Joint Information Center of Florida for COVID-19 said in part: “Among the initial round of collection kits that the state received, there were some that were not compatible with current testing procedures. Some of these kits were used during the first two days of operation at the testing site in Miami at the Hard Rock Stadium.”

CBS 4 News asked for the number of people who needed retesting but those numbers were not immediately available."
