7 new COVID testing sites across NYC, Long Island

As New York continues to see a surge in COVID cases, over a dozen new state-run testing sites opened their doors Wednesday, half of which are located in the New York City area. 

The new sites were aimed at providing additional testing options to New Yorkers in areas of high need, including spots across New York City and Long Island. 

“These new sites expand testing access in regions across the state and will be critical assets in our efforts to protect vulnerable New Yorkers,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement. 

The new sites open a day after CityMD announced it was temporarily shutting down more of its testing locations across the city due to staffing shortages. 

The sites are open daily starting Wednesday, but will close at 4 p.m. on New Year’s Eve and will remain closed on New Year’s Day. 

New Yorkers interested can head to this site to make an appointment now.
