Testing for COVID-19

The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø School District WILL NOT be performing COVID-19 testing in any of our school facilities.

The FDA has  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. This approval allows the state to dramatically increase testing capacity to thousands of tests per day.

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.If you go to a test site run by New York State, there is never any charge for your test.

If you go to a test site operated by local governments, private companies including pharmacies and medical practices or not-for-profit organizations, you are advised to check with the testing site and your insurer in advance of being tested to confirm you will not be responsible for any fees associated with your test.

The Suffolk County Department of Health is your community contact for COVID-19 concerns.
