Resources to help you navigate life during coronavirus

The FDA approved New York State to authorize the state's 28 public and private labs to begin manual, semi-automated and automated testing for novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. Testing is free to all eligible New Yorkers as ordered by a health care provider or by calling the NYS COVID-19 hotline at 1-888-364-3065.

To get tested at a state-run drive-through testing site:

• Call 888-364-3065.
• You will be asked questions about what COVID-19 symptoms you have.
• The information is sent to a state database, and you are prioritized based on your answers to questions.
• If you are eligible for testing, you will be called with an appointment time.
