A new state-run drive-thru COVID-19 testing site in Delaware County and people wasted no time hopping in their cars and getting in line, some waiting hours.
. Delaware County’s Medical Advisor says up to 500 PCR tests a day will be offered in Yeadon. Results are sent within two to five days.
"The frustration now is with such great numbers of people exposed, contracting COVID. It really is putting a burden on the hospitals and emergency rooms and, I think that’s the pressure points, at this time," Delaware County Medical Advisor Dr. Lisa O’Mahony said. Some waited in their cars all of Tuesday afternoon to get tested. They say they didn’t have much choice.
"My wife and I are here to get tested, as a precaution. We recently learned my son and daughter-in-law tested positive," Yeadon resident McDonald Ford remarked. Sharon Hill resident Tanya Scott added, "I’ve been feeling very sick for the last couple days. A lot of congestion, pains in my chest. So, I’m not sure, but I want to be sure."
