With high numbers of COVID-19 cases hitting Florida and holiday travel still in full force, many people are taking no chances. They are getting tested and that's resulted in some long lines across the bay area.
For the second day in a row, lines at the Hillsborough County testing site at the West Tampa Community Resource Center have been wrapped around the building. With most at-home tests sold out and many appointments already taken, some frustrated people in line said this was their only option.
"Just for the caution for work," one person in line said. "I work with a lot of people so I gotta make sure I'm not contagious before I go back."
Dr. Peggy Duggan is the Executive Vice President and Chief medical officer at Tampa General Hospital. She's concerned that the sheer number of positive tests could start to put pressure on hospitals, but she's glad people are getting tested.
