This photo brings back many memories of waiting at the St. George ferry terminal for a covid test. This was a weekly trip for myself. I made a nice habit of walking down to the ferry terminal and getting a test to ensure I was still covid-free. This view was commonly had on the days were nice enough to have the waiting line outside. The wait itself could be anywhere from five minutes to two hours, depending on circumstances. I was always concerned with being asymptomatic as I live in close proximity to an elderly couple and want to ensure I wasn't putting them at any risk of getting Coronavirus.
