With the New Year’s holiday this weekend, many sites may have reduced availability: some sites are closing early on New Year's Eve and may be closed on New Year’s Day, so check their times first.
Another issue for parents of the youngest kids and babies who are required to show a negative COVID test result before returning to preschools or daycares next week, is that many private sites and some of the city's mobile sites will not test kids under the age of 4.
Dr. Ted Long, Executive Director of New York City’s Test and Trace, described bringing his own young toddler to a city-run testing site.
husband & daughter got in line at 10am. They just got their COVID tests. They say workers had PCR tests & paperwork rolling around all over the table. They can’t keep up with demand. 4.5 hours! How on earth is the NYC DOE expecting anyone to come to school on Monday?
