Governor Kathy Hochul has announced a partnership with SUNY in which new testing sites will be opening on State University of New York campuses across the state – incuding SUNY Stony Brook – beginning the week of Jan. 3. More campus sites will open in the coming weeks as the project expands.
“We are getting creative in our approach to make testing easier for New Yorkers,” Governor Hochul said. “With testing now available at SUNY campuses and Syracuse University, we are expanding access across the state to make sure that we limit the spread of COVID-19. Get tested, wear a mask, and get your vaccine, second dose, and booster to keep yourself and your community safe as we get through this winter surge.”
Exact locations and hours of operation will be announced as the program develops. SUNY testing sites to open later this week include the SUNY Stony Brook Community Testing Site
SUNY Purchase Community Testing Site.
Acting Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said, “I want to thank our SUNY partners for hosting these additional testing locations across New York State. Knowing your COVID-19 status through testing and taking the necessary precautions when you are infected are key to keeping our kids in school and our communities functioning as we push through this winter surge.”
