A West Palm Beach COVID testing site hit maximum capacity one hour after opening on Wednesday.
After people waited four hours at the drive-thru site at Gaines Park on Tuesday, hundreds of cars showed up before the 9 a.m. opening time. By 10 a.m., a sign was posted that no more vehicles would be allowed to line up.
County Commissioners confirm that two more testing sites will be opening soon, but no exact dates were provided. One of the locations will be at the Wells Recreation Center in Riviera Beach and the other will open at an unknown location in Boynton Beach.
There are already several other test sites operating in Palm Beach County, but health officials say they are all extremely busy.
