Here's Where To Get A Coronavirus Test In Park Slope: 9 Locations

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — It is no secret that COVID-19 is surging once again in New York and New York City.

The state has broken its new positive COVID case count record three days in a row, with another 22,478 New Yorkers testing positive on Sunday — 12,404 of which who live in New York City.

Dozens of reports have detailed the long lines waiting for COVID tests, or the difficulty of simply finding a place in New York City neighborhoods to get tested.

The jump in COVID cases comes just before millions of people in New York City planned to travel for the holidays, which is creating an even bigger jump in people looking for tests.

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Monday morning that eight new major testing sites would be opening across the city over the next two days and that free at-home testing kits will be sent out to "high volume" areas this week.

Between Dec. 11 and Dec. 17, 362 people in Park Slope's major ZIP code, 11215, tested positive for the virus and there were 221 new cases northern ZIP 11217, according to the city. The positivity rate stands at 7.14 percent in 11215 and 6.63 percent in 11217, according to the latest data.
