HONOLULU (KHON2) — The city’s free COVID testing program suffered an embarrassing episode on Aug. 26, impacting about 1,000 tests taken at the Kaneohe District Park and Leeward Community College (LLC) . The botched tests had to do with the Honolulu Fire Department not getting correct guidance on how to label vials.
The U.S. Department of Health and Services says about 1,000 vials arrived at the lab with no patient information. Without it, the tests cannot be validated and those impacted are urged to get re-tested.
