Travelers Stranded at Airports Waiting to Get COVID-19 Tests as Omicron Spreads

It’s the nightmare before Christmas! Travelers find themselves stranded at New York’s JFK airport — they need a negative test to get on their international flights, but the wait for testing is four hours long. Airport authorities are advising passengers to get tested before arriving for their flights. But that’s a nightmare too as testing lines are even longer than last week. Hospitals are overwhelmed across the nation. In Ohio, the governor even deployed the National Guard to help out.
