Demand for testing has gone from less than a dozen requests a day before the holidays, to hundreds or even up to 1,000 in large locations.
Taneja assured commissioners, however, who referenced receiving criticism over long lines and availability, that there is plenty of capacity in the county for testing.
Taneja stressed that if people are willing to look around at as many as 100 testing locations listed on county and state websites, tests can be found. “I have always discouraged what I call ‘freak out testing’,” Taneja said. “I will tell you there’s a lot of folks out there that call us, the same day, ‘Oh so and so tested positive, where can I get a test?’.”
He applauded employees at test sites who Taneja said in some cases had been yelled at, cursed or reportedly spit on in one instance by people frustrated over long waits.
