As the COVID-19 numbers rise across Long Island, the testing lines are growing ahead of the holiday.

News 12 Long Island was at CityMD in Commack which has a virtual line.

People can now wait in their car or even at home before they are called for their appointment.

CityMD said the wait time Thursday was up to 2/12 hours to get a test.

However, some residents waited in line for hours to get in the door.

Commack resident Terry Janis' husband and child tested positive for COVID-19. She's been trying since Monday to get tested.

Janis says she can't get an appointment online, and her local pharmacies are sold out of the at-home tests.

"I would just like to know why we weren't on top of this,” says Janis.
