Instead of lining up to see Santa or waiting to buy Christmas gifts, New Yorkers stood for hours Saturday to get COVID-19 tests as cases continued to surge.
Residents fumed as they waited for the nasal swabs in order to travel or because they thought they might have the virus.
At a city-run testing and vaccination center in Times Square on Saturday afternoon, the wait was about three hours.
“I’m cold and frustrated. We are in such a big city, there should be more options available,” said Alessandra Abate, 29, a graduate student from Dumbo who had been in line for two hours.

Frustration mounted in the late afternoon when those in line were told the single person doing the testing had taken a lunch break.
