Testing for COVID-19 means long waits or extra cash in U.S.: NYT
NEW YORK, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- For many Americans, testing for COVID-19 means long waits that bring more risks or spending extra money, The New York Times reported Monday.
Many Americans have been waiting in long lines at free testing sites since before the Christmas and New Year's holiday rush.
Some went to crowded emergency rooms in hopes of getting tested, inviting more risks to themselves and others, and potentially delaying emergency care for the ill and injured, the report said.
