New COVID-19 testing at faith-based sites | Bronx Free Press

There are 28 new testing sites planned.

It’ll be a service of swabs and swipes.

All residents are welcome to take advantage of a new partnership between Governor Andrew Cuomo and SOMOS, a nonprofit network of over 2,500 physicians, which will bring 28 new COVID-19 test sites to New York City.

Three will be based in the Bronx.

The sites will primarily be located at churches and faith-based locations in communities with high numbers of Latinos, who have suffered high death rates from COVID-19.

According to Health Department data, Latino and black New Yorkers are dying from COVID-19 at nearly twice the rate of white New Yorkers.
