Governor Kathy Hochul has announced two new State testing sites on Long Island to address the recent surge in COVID-19 cases. These sites are aimed providing additional testing options in areas of high need.
"To get through this winter surge and protect New Yorkers, we will use every tool at our disposal," Governor Hochul said. "By mobilizing testing sites, we will make sure testing is more accessible and convenient for New Yorkers. We will continue to expand testing availability to every corner of the state, evaluating where more capacity and additional sites are needed soon."
Sites are currently open as of December 29, 2021. Days and hours of operation will vary depending upon the location of the site and each will offer tests by appointment, as well as walk-ins. Upon launch, all sites will offer RT-PCR testing. Rapid antigen and rapid PCR tests will also be available within a few days of opening.
