NEW YORK - With COVID infections surging, New York officials announced the opening of 13 more testing sites to help counter the long lines.
"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. "Remember to stay home if you're sick, wear your mask, and if you haven't yet, get your vaccine or booster shot as soon as possible."
New York on Wednesday reported an additional 67,000 positive test results. The state's positivity rate is at about 18.5%.
Here are the locations of the new testing sites by region. Appointments can be made here. The sites will close at 4 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 31, and will be closed on Saturday, Jan. 1, 2022.
