Long wait times for coronavirus testing in NJ

(20 Mar 2020) LEAD IN People lined up in their vehicles for more than a mile to be tested for the new coronavirus at Bergen Community College in Paramus, New Jersey. STORY-LINE: A drive-through testing center has opened in New Jersey at Bergen Community College. Bergen County has been the state's hardest-hit area. Governor Phil Murphy said only those with symptoms should get in line, and not those whom he called the "worried well," people who are feeling well but are concerned they could be infected.   The facility will have the capacity to conduct 2,500 tests a week, according to the governor. Another testing center would be opening soon in Holmdel, Monmouth County, he said. The state Health Department said it's compiling a list of other places throughout New Jersey where people can get tested. For most people, the virus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death. The vast majority of people recover over a period a weeks.
