BUFFALO, N.Y. — With COVID-19 testing in high demand, two more state-run COVID testing sites will officially open Friday in the City of Buffalo.
Gov. Kathy Hochul's office announced earlier this week that the two testing sites in Buffalo would be at SUNY Buffalo State College and the University at Buffalo.
According to the state, both sites will provide appointment-based and walk-in COVID-19 testing Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each site is expected to have roughly 225 appointments per day and will allow up to 50 walk-ins.

"As we continue to combat the winter surge it is essential that we provide more access to testing for New Yorkers to help limit the spread of this virus," Hochul said. "With 10 sites opening by the end of this week and additional sites by the end of the next, we are quickly ramping up our ability to focus our resources where they are needed. While testing is critically important, we must ensure we continue to focus on all the tools available to us: get vaccinated, get boosted, and wear a mask."
