This Monday, people who arrived at the Covid-19 test center in Tropical Park were surprised to see high-sounding messages on the electronic screen. This was reported by the WSNV team of journalists .
Through social networks, it was observed how some blasphemies against the president of the United States, Joe Biden, were broadcast on the electronic device.
The people who came to do their test to detect the virus were surprised to see how the screen launched continuous messages.
Tropical Park staff acted quickly
Realizing the situation, the Tropical Park staff had to go to the command control, to be able to encrypt the screen.
“Miami-Dade Parks staff identified false and inappropriate messages being displayed on the VMS board outside of Tropical Park,” staff said in a tweet.
