How to Find a Coronavirus Test in New York City
The New York Times
City officials announced plans to open nearly two dozen additional testing sites to meet demand for testing, which has doubled in the past three weeks.
President Biden said that he would set up new federal coronavirus testing sites nationwide to mitigate the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. The first of those sites will open in New York City before Christmas.
The move comes after New York City officials announced that they would open an additional 23 coronavirus testing sites by the end of the week to try to meet a soaring demand as people race to learn their status before holiday travel and indoor gatherings.
“Testing helps us on so many levels,” Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters on Monday. “It helps to make sure that each person knows where they stand. On the very personal level, when you get tested, you know what’s going on, you know what to do.”
