Second COVID-19 Testing Site in NYS Approved

Governor Cuomo says federal officials have approved coronavirus testing at a second lab in New York State.

Northwell Laboratories on Long Island has been authorized to test under the emergency authorization granted last week to the Wadsworth Lab in Albany.

Cuomo says testing of up to 80 samples per day at Northwell will start immediately.

There are now 105 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in New York.

Cuomo says the FDA still must increase the testing capacity for the state and private labs. He says automated testing could perform thousands of tests per day.
