Hundreds of New Jersey residents waited in line for hours at a COVID-19 testing site in Hudson County.

Cars were lined up for blocks near Jim Braddock Park in North Bergen on Wednesday afternoon with people waiting to get a COVID test before Christmas.

Some people waiting in the line told News 12 New Jersey that they were getting a test because they feared that they had been exposed to the virus. Others said that they wanted to get a test as a precaution before visiting with friends and family for the holiday.

News 12 was told that some people had been waiting in line for at least five hours.
