New COVID-19 testing sites open on Long Island to meet surge in demand – News 12 Bronx

Beginning today, Northwell Health will operate drive-thru testing
sites at Christopher Morley Park in Roslyn and Peconic Bay Medical Center in
Riverhead.

These sites will offer PCR tests and are by appointment only. If
you are interested in scheduling an appointment, follow this link.

A community testing location in New Hyde Park has been
opened on-and-off since the pandemic started at a Northwell Health building on
1 Marcus Ave.

 A community
testing site was also set up at the former Babies R Us in Bohemia two weeks
ago.

Gov. Kathy Hochul also announced two new state-run sites set to
open on Long Island Wednesday.

One location is in Nassau County at Kennedy Memorial Park on
Greenwich Street in Hempstead. In Suffolk County, the other location is at the
IBEW Local 25 on Motor Parkway in Hauppauge.

The new sites come after long lines have been seen at urgent care
locations for their COVID-19 testing services.

Long Island has the highest daily COVID-19 infection rate in New
York.
