COVID-19 testing sites struggle to keep up amid "explosive situation" in Washington
Even before the state’s Friday declaration that the pandemic is creating an “explosive situation,” Cheryl Hill of Tacoma discovered that getting a COVID-19 test isn’t easy.
Her son sought testing at the Tacoma Walgreens on Pearl Street last week.
“I couldn’t book anything online,” she told The News Tribune. “It showed seven days out, and each day was booked.”
Her son eventually just showed up and wound up waiting about three hours in the parking lot, with 15 to 20 people ahead of him. Those people also had no appointments and were in line behind those who did.
