COVID testing opens at Alfred State's Wellsville campus Jan. 20

Gov. Kathy Hochul on Friday announced nine COVID-19 testing sites will open on SUNY and community college campuses across New York State, including at Alfred State's Wellsville campus at 2530 River Road.

Testing begins Jan. 20, operating from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Appointments can be scheduled here.

"Through our winter surge plan we are building on our ongoing efforts to make testing more widely available, and that includes utilizing our SUNY campus facilities that are equipped to distribute more tests to New Yorkers," Hochul said. "Expanded access to testing will ensure those who are positive with the virus can isolate to limit spread and keep others in their communities well.

"We're turning the corner on this winter surge but we're not through this yet, so let's continue to use the tools that will help stop the spread: Wear a mask, wash your hands, get your vaccine, your second dose, and your booster. Get tested and stay home if you are sick - we are not powerless."
