Buffalo Bills
The parking lot at the Buffalo Bills stadium in Orchard Park will be packed Wednesday with fans planning to see the team play the Indianapolis Colts Saturday.
Nearly 6,800 Bills fans have tickets for Saturday’s playoff game with the Colts. Commuters passing the stadium this morning will see ticket holders filling 30 rows of cars waiting to have their COVID-19 test samples taken. They will only be allowed into the stadium Saturday if they test negative.
Dr. Jon Cohen is a vascular surgeon and executive chairman of Bioreference, which is conducting the scheduled tests. We have 30 lanes set up at the Buffalo stadium in Orchard Park, he said. You pull up. We verify who you are. You roll down your window. We swab you. Just a little nasal swab, not invasive. We then take that specimen with the requisition and we send it to our laboratory.

He noted that health officials believe there is a reporting lag and that more than the nearly 138,000 doses reported have been administered.
