So you get to City MD right when it opens and… of course there’s a long line. Then you try to schedule a Covid-19 test at your local pharmacy (Walgreens, CVS Pharmacy or Rite Aid) and they are booked up as well.
You think to yourself: “where, oh where, can I get a Covid test”
Here are some places you can find a test that will not require standing out in the cold for hours (no promises that wont happen, though. We are in crazy times.)
1. Community testing sites:
Suffolk County is operating Covid-19 rapid testing sites that are FREE.
Here’s the information:
2. Quest Diagnostics
