Five hour queues for Christchurch residents awaiting Covid-19 tests
Hi neighbours,
People wanting a Covid-19 test in Christchurch face a wait for up to five hours at one of the city’s two testing centres as Kiwis around the country rush to check they are safe in the wake of the latest outbreak.
A queue of hundreds of cars stretched for about a kilometre out of the Pages Rd centre in east Christchurch at one point on Thursday morning, the queue snaking down nearby suburban streets.
There were similar scenes at the city’s other testing centre at Orchard Rd near the airport, where scores of cars queued for about hundreds of metres in a carefully managed line, as they did on Wednesday.

Kia ora neighbours,
My name is John Karki and I'm currently looking for a job. I do live in Somerfield and I'm a student and keen to work while I study.
I do have experience in Cleaning, Kitchen hand, Customer Service but I'm very reliable, hardworking, and a fast learner.
I'm open to all kinds of work-hospitality, retail, cleaning, kitchenhand, or anything where I can lend a hand and learn something new.
I am available anytime of day during morning and afternoon, some days evening too.
If you know of any opportunities or need some help yourself, I'd really appreciate it if you could reach out.
Thank you so much!
Kind regards,
