arrow Workers from Bergen New Bridge Medical Center and Bergen County screen residents at a mass drive-thru test site at Bergen Community College that opened Dec. 1 Karen Yi/WNYC New Jersey residents are frequently waiting hours to get tested for the coronavirus and are often getting turned away at local clinics that have run dry of supplies—as the state struggles to keep up with rising demand and control the surge of infections. Governor Phil Murphy said more than 400 sites are providing testing across the state, which is performing an average of 50,000 tests a day. While it’s a huge increase from the virus’s first wave in the spring, New Jersey is still testing fewer people compared to New York, which has screened twice as many residents per capita. And this week, the number of administered tests actually decreased, according to data published by Johns Hopkins University.
