People rush to get COVID-19 test ahead of holiday gatherings despite quarantine recommendations
Q13 s Franque Thompson reports.
BELLEVUE, Wash. - No one likes an unwelcome guest during holiday plans. That’s why people are rushing to get in line for COVID-19 testing so they don’t bring the virus with them. I want to make sure I get the COVID test before I invite him over to the house because he’s very vulnerable, said Shari McPherson while making reservations for a free testing site at Bellevue College.
Officials with Public Health – Seattle & King County said the safest option this holiday season is not to gather with people you don’t live with. However, not everyone is staying at home as much as health professionals are recommending, especially as more people are making last-minute plans.
