STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- As coronavirus (COVID-19) cases continue to spike in New York, with millions scrambling to get tested following the winter holidays, Staten Islanders are once again experiencing inordinate wait times at some testing locations.
On Tuesday morning, a long line of residents was wrapped around the CityMD in New Springville before the location had even opened for the day, leaving late arrivals waiting hours in first a physical, and then virtual, line.
