Don't let the long delay for covid test results in NYC (up to 10 days!) discourage you from getting a test.

Look for one of the test sites with shorter turn-around, see below for list.

It is critical that more NYers get tested. It's the only way we can contain the virus in NYC.

Test sites run by @NYCHealthSystem ("H+H") are turning around tests more quickly than many of the private providers (like CityMD).

For full list of H+H sites city-wide, see: nychealthandhospitals.org/covid-19-testi…

Here is list of their Manhattan sites:

NY State-run sites are also turning around tests more quickly. Below is a list of these sites in the five boroughs.

For details, call 888-364-3065 or see: coronavirus.health.ny.gov/find-test-site…

Sites run by Advantage Care (@ACPNY) are reporting short lag times in test results. They have 8 sites in NYC, see: acpny.com/find-a-provide…

Have you gotten covid test results quickly? Please post which site you went to.
