Drivers form mile-long lines for food bank after being banned from turning up in person to stop spread of coronavirus

  • Motorists waited on a mile-long line Monday for a drive-up emergency food distribution at a Duquesne food bank to meet social distancing requirements
  • The Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, considered essential during the deadly coronavirus outbreak, was giving away only 1,500 food boxes
  • Food bank officials had to cancel normal food distributions and decided not to have volunteers at its warehouse because of the deadly flu-like virus
  • So many people turned out for drive-up distribution that local police set up portable toilets every 3/10ths of a mile to handle the large crowds
  • Pennsylvania has almost 3,400 confirmed cases, the CDC reports. Pittsburgh has had 290 confirmed cases and two deaths, say state health officials
