A program born out of the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, back when infections made New York City the epicenter of the health crisis, is getting a facelift...
New York City is scaling back on COVID-19 testing sites despite omicron subvariants that are driving a nationwide rise in new case and hospitalization rates.
The revelation defies a pledge by city health officials in the early spring, when they said they would keep city-run testing sites open despite rollbacks at the federal level.
Mayor Eric Adams says that offering immediate prescriptions to people who test positive at the mobile sites will help address concerns over inequities in distributing antiviral treatments.
Mayor Adams announced the new plan Thursday alongside White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha and several top city health officials in the Inwood section of Manhattan.
