Hundreds forced to queue for 5 HOURS' for Covid test at NHS walk-in centre
HUNDREDS of people were forced to queue for five hours for a coronavirus test at a walk-in-centre, a dad has claimed.
His wife was told there was "no chance" they'd get in as the wait in the queue on Thursday was at least five hours. The dad-of-four said: "It's just shocking to see, but not surprising considering schools have been reopened and we've had the eat out to help out scheme.'SHOCKING TO SEE' "As a result of this demand, our walk-through centres have become increasingly busy, and whilst the centres will test as many symptomatic people as possible, at busy times, there may be a wait, and if demand is very high people may be asked to consider other testing options.
