Since the beginning of the pandemic, people have been rushing to the nearest testing site to get a test and quarantine. In the past month, there has been a surge of COVID-19 cases, this means that more people are rushing to the testing sites to get tested which in turn can put a load in testing labs to get results out fast enough to the public. With the recent surge testing, drive-thrus have reported a wait time in line to be up to 3 to 4 hours. This means that you can sit in your care for up to 3 hours waiting to get a screening done. This issue has prompted the Tri-County area to think about ways to get more testing sites available to the public because the need for screening test is higher than ever before. In order for the Tri-County to do so, there is a need for a space with big parking spaces to hold a large number of vehicles as well as making sure traffic is not being held up leading up to the testing facilities. One thing that we can do to help make sure the expansion of the testing facilities is to help distribute flags, and directory to aid people in getting to the right site. Also, the state has been thinking to make the cost of testing free of cost for those who don’t currently have health insurance and can’t afford the price of the screening test.
