NEW YORK — Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Tuesday that 10 SUNY campus-based COVID-19 test sites will open beginning January 6. Two of the 10 sites will be opening here in Western New York.
The governor also announced the second round of sites slated to open the week of January 10.
"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."
Beginning Thursday, January 6, most of the sites will be open and provide appointment-based and walk-in COVID-19 testing Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Here in Western New York there the testing sites will be at the University at Buffalo and SUNY Buffalo State College.
