The MTA is
helping people get tested for COVID-19 by holding pop-up sites in seven subway
stations across New York City Thursday.
The sites
will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. except for New Year's
Day.
The pop-ups
are part of a state-funded program and will even include people visiting the
city. The locations are in the Broadway Junction station, Penn Station, Times
Square, Grand Central Terminal, East 180th Street in the Bronx and two are in
Queens.
Officials
say it's part of an effort to address the ongoing spike in cases and the
shortage of testing available in the city.
Times
Square and Grand Central will also be pop-up vaccination sites and will offer
the Moderna vaccine and booster shots.
