Holiday rush for COVID-19 testing as state urges North Carolinians to stay home for holidays

RALEIGH (WTVD) -- It was busy most of the day, Friday, at Wake County Health Department's Swinburne COVID-19 testing site with a heavy stream of people driving up for testing ahead of potential holiday travel or gatherings. No one seemed to be having a hard time finding a site to get tested. But, it's the travel and gatherings part that state health officials are having a hard time condoning.
"I'll probably just go back home. If I don't have any symptoms I don't know if I'll get tested again. But I definitely don't want to bring anything back to my family," said Thomas Webb in downtown Raleigh, one of several passers-by who spoke to ABC11 about the holiday rush for coronavirus testing.
