Long Lines, People Seeking Virus Testing Turned Away

(Providence, RI) -- Some problems were reported with pop-up coronavirus testing sites in Rhode Island this weekend. WPRI-TV reported several sites closed early Sunday because of unexpected high volumes of people. The testing site at the Stop and Shop on West River Street in Providence reportedly saw a big line of cars with people waiting for hours, but dozens of vehicles were apparently turned away. The Rhode Island Department of Health says test times are available at the Dunkin' Donuts Center, and those who want to schedule a same-day test should visit portal.ri.gov.
