COVID-19 Testing In Greenwich Village: Here Are 9 Locations
GREENWICH VILLAGE, NY — It is no secret that COVID-19 is surging once again in New York and New York City.
The state has broken its new positive COVID case count record three days in a row, with another 22,478 New Yorkers testing positive on Sunday — 12,404 of which who live in New York City.
Dozens of reports and first-person accounts have detailed the long lines waiting for COVID tests, or the difficulty of simply finding a place in an NYC neighborhood where you can get tested.
The jump in COVID cases comes just before millions of people in New York City planned to travel for the holidays, which is creating an even bigger jump in people looking for tests.
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday morning that eight new major testing sites would be opening across the city over the next two days and that free at-home testing kits will be sent out to "high volume" areas this week.
Between Dec. 11 and Dec. 17, Greenwich Village's 10012 ZIP code, the West Village's 10014 ZIP code, and the East Village's 10003 ZIP code all recorded within the five highest COVID rates in the city.
10012: 12.08 percent positive, 289 new positives
10013: 12.05 percent positive, 334 new positives
10003: 11.81 percent positive, 753 new positives
