A queue of more than 70 cars formed outside a COVID-19 testing centre on the Isle of Wight on Monday morning, prompting the Isle of Wight Council to issue a reminder to Islanders.
Around half-an-hour before the Medina testing site opened yesterday, dozens of Islanders had arrived desperate to get a positive or negative result for the virus.
Now the Council is explicitly asking Islanders not to arrive early for a booked test.
If you have COVID-19 symptoms book a test by calling 119 (07:00-23:00), by visiting www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test or via the NHS COVID-19 app.

Many are just so bored with having to, for once, look after their own children, that any event out, is better than being in with them.
Perhaps they will now respect what a teacher, with thirty of them has to contend with each day.
If there is such a demand that huge queues are forming then why wasn’t the test centre at Blackwater on Sunday? Gates closed. The virus isn’t having a day off.
All so very ill that they can get up early drive there and sit in the queue for ages.Real flu you could not get out of bed to pick up £500 layed on the floor for you as you feel so bad!
Indeed the deadly illness that requires constant testing to know if you have it or not!
You aren’t necessarily very ill with COVID but have mild symptoms but you are still told to get a test.
So the headline says 70 car que to then read on how dozens of islanders were there. Make your mind up. I wonder what time this supposed que was there as I drove through at 8.30 and no sign of one at all?
Probably over exaggerating again. Surely they are spacing out tests more sensibly? If 70 were in queue what were their appointment times I wonder?
What kind of idiot goes for test when they feel fine. Talk about stupidity running rampant. Hope these idiots do die. Let Darwinism do its thing.
What a terrible comment to make wishing people to die .what type evil person are you
I’ve always had a nice time in ventnor hope I haven’t bumped into you though thoroughly disgusting comment
Ventnor Richard. Can we call you Dick?
Thinking about Darwinism if you the top off the food chain then best top our selves now ,you bigoted idiot
Many have to test even if they feel fine. Do you not get that? Some companies get workers tested and there are other reasons too. Also some get extremely mild symptoms but they still must get a test. One day it might be you.
