Many loads are recorded today (Sunday) in corona testing complexes across the country, against the background of the spike in morbidity.

For example, in Petah Tikva there were unusual loads that created a significant traffic jam, in the Armon Hanatziv neighborhood of Jerusalem there were hundreds of vehicles at the entrance to the complex and in the Tel Aviv Museum the queues were huge over hundreds of meters.

Significant queues were also recorded in Caesarea yesterday.

Those present at the scene testified that they waited a long time for the inspection.

Despite this, the atmosphere in the complexes was calm and the day-to-day conduct was good.

At the same time, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett also addressed the issue and said: "We are seeing a heavy load in the tests, and we are working at the moment to find solutions."

"Allah Yustor what is going on here. We have been waiting for more than two and a quarter hours, and yesterday we also came here but it was impossible to withstand the load so we ran away," they told Walla! A mother and her youngest son, residents of Ramat Gan. "Today we already came equipped with food, it is a problem with small children to wait here. He was exposed to a verified child in class, and today also just received his second vaccine - and the Ministry of Health does not answer if he is already vaccinated then we can get out of isolation if the test is negative, no We have an idea of ​​what is happening and there is no answer. "

Kobi waited more than an hour and a half in line for corona tests in the Cedars Valley in Jerusalem: "It makes sense to let everyone be tested, but more test stations need to be opened. Standing in a traffic jam with children for an hour and a half is an unpleasant experience. The procedures should also be prepared accordingly. "

Or, a 35-year-old Petah Tikva resident, went into solitary confinement with his entire family after his five-year-old daughter became infected in kindergarten with one of the kindergarten teachers: "We have been waiting here for more than two hours. We are negative.

Hundreds of vehicles.

A couple of parents, residents of Givat Shmuel in their 30s, wait in line for an hour: "Our son is stuck in class, we are already in isolation for a week in the family, and we have been negative in the meantime. If we are negative today we can get out of isolation."
