The Winnipeg Police Service is asking the public to avoid eastbound Nairn Tuesday afternoon as long lineups for COVID-19 testing are causing congestion in the area.

The WPS also says that the testing site on Nairn Ave. is now at capacity and will not be taking any more people. Those who have appointments will still be taken in.

The WPS says that traffic on eastbound Nairn has backed up all the way to Watt Street Tuesday afternoon.
