In a statement made to the Tribune, the Utah Department of Health said it is “aware of long lines at many testing sites and is requesting patience from those who are waiting to be tested.”

In Bountiful, a Salt Lake Tribune reporter waited in line at the TestUtah site at 726 100 E. starting at 1:20 p.m. The line took an hour and 20 minutes to get through.

As of 2:40 p.m., the line consisted of about 60 cars, stretching for nearly two blocks from the library to 100 S. and Main Street. Locals also responded to an inquiry made by The Salt Lake Tribune on social media asking if and where they were seeing long testing lines. Are you seeing long lines for COVID-19 testing? Are you currently in one of those long lines? Are there any places where the lines are shorter? Reach out to

Line was long at bountiful test site last wed but they got us through quickly and results in less than an hour. The Nomi web site could work better. Test Utah has a very incomplete listing of test sites and hours. had a much more comprehensive listing.

Companies that perform tests and big pharma must be making great profits

How about we increase capacity

I could be patient, but on my day off I just got told to leave the testing site because they had too many people waiting and couldn't take me. I was exposed and need a test, but I have to work Monday so I was counting on getting tested today. I probably won't go back for a test.
