Hundreds line up for free rapid antigen tests at Masonville Place - CTV News London

London, Ont. -

The province handed out 1,000 free COVID-19 rapid antigen tests in London Thursday morning.

It was first come, first served outside of Masonville Place starting at 9 a.m., and within less than 30 minutes all 1,000 kits were given out.

By 8 a.m., hundreds had already joined the line with the first person arriving at 5:45 a.m.

"I've been looking for a long time and the only reason I’m here is to get it for my son," said Norm Baily, who was first in line.

Everyone had a reason to get a free COVID-19 rapid test and Rita Giroux-Patience was no different saying she needs one to see her family's newest addition.

"I will be a grandmother any time in the next couple of days and we need to do a rapid test if the grandparents want to see our new grand baby," she said.

Just before 9 a.m. tests started to be handed out.

"I think it’s crazy," said Bailey. "There should be other ways to do this than stand in line for hours. They should be mailing them to our house to something, there’s got to be an easier way than this. I never waited in line for tickets for a concert."

More tests will be handed out Friday morning at 9 a.m. at the mall.

Anyone who is without symptoms and who has not been in contact with someone with COVID-19 is eligible to receive one.

Supply will be limited and only one test kit will be given to each person.

Residents should wear masks and are encouraged to dress for the elements.
