Long lines and technical issues greeted those wanting to be tested for COVID-19 at the newly-opened Miami Marine Stadium on Virginia Key on Tuesday morning.

Nurses were going from car to car letting people know that there were technical issues at the site and that is causing delays. Some are choosing to stay while others are leaving, according to CBS4’s Brooke Shafer, who is at the site.

A woman had an appointment for 9:30 a.m. and she waited in line for two hours before she decided to just go home without a test.
