To find a test site in your area in any of the five boroughs, you can text the word “COVID TEST” al 855-48 or register your address in the city search engine here.
The New York Department of Health website has a Map designed by Castlight: COVID-19 Resource Center which lists established or mobile sites that offer testing. However, not all listed centers are affiliated with NYC Test & Trace Corps, which are run by the city government and offer the free trial. Some are private and may charge for the service.
It is advisable to call the test site before going.
