See this Testnet becomes unusable after large hashrate drop · Issue #3552 · zcash/zcash · GitHub and this Testnet is no longer syncing past block 299187 · Issue #3568 · zcash/zcash · GitHub for more information. The fix is in but the explorer would need to upgrade. v2.0.1 will be out very soon.

Thank you for your help.

You can use the v2.0.1-rc1 release candidate to continue use of testnet.
