The huge queues on the way to the corona tests continue: "Just a nightmare, you have three hours to stand here"

The average waiting time for corona examinations at one of the centers in Jerusalem was between two and a half and three hours, and the public tries to muster patience in the face of desperate queues.

The Haifa Municipality demanded immediate solutions from the Home Front Command for the heavy loads - and threatened that it would no longer allow the complex to open

The long queues registered in recent days for corona testing stations in major cities are provoking great anger and frustration today (Thursday).

In Jerusalem, for example, thousands of patients waited from the early hours of the morning at the Corona Test Center (PCR) in the Cedar Valley - for long hours until the end of the procedure.

The average time that citizens spent in existing hotspots in the west of the city was about two and a half to three hours.

Little, who arrived with her husband and 7-year-old son at the test site and left two and a half hours later, described the wait as a nightmare.

"Bring food, bring drinks, you have three hours to stand in line," she advises attendees, "[it's] just a nightmare."

Other citizens tried to accept the long wait with relative peace.

One of them is Daniel, who arrived with his 11-year-old son from a locality in the Jerusalem area in the family car and began waiting in line.

"We do tests almost every day for school anyway, so now we'll linger here longer. I'm fine with that and so is my son, we have patience," he says.

Simultaneously with the long queues in the west of the city, the checkpoints in the east of the city that opened operated without any unusual loads.

Elimelech, a resident of the nearby Sanhedria neighborhood and a father of five, preferred to stay in the west of the city.

"Even though I'm burning time here, I will not go and take my children to East Jerusalem. It is a bit dangerous now," he explained.

Meanwhile, in Haifa, too, heavy loads were recorded at the checkpoints and nearby arteries.

Thus, following the heavy congestion around the corona testing complex in the Sami Ofer parking lot - which led to traffic jams throughout the Neot Peres neighborhood - the municipality asked the Home Front Command to add additional testing stations.

The Home Front Command claimed that there was a national malfunction and that they did not anticipate the heavy loads, and promised to address the problem today.

However, after the congestion was repeated this morning as well, Mayor Einat Klish Rotem demanded that the Home Front Command find solutions immediately - and threatened that she would otherwise close the compound tomorrow.
