Gov. Cuomo Announces Mobile Coronavirus Testing Facility in New Rochelle, New York

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: "This is a very creative way of testing. This is drive-thru testing, something I didn’t hear of last week but something that we’re doing this week thanks to the good efforts of the team we have here. Drive-thru testing means people in this community can call a telephone number make an appointment and they can come to be tested and literally drive through the testing facilities. There are six lanes that are operating. You drive in in your car and the medical staff comes to you, does the test, takes the swabs, and then you pull out, the swabs get sent to a laboratory, in this case BioReference, they do the testing, we get the results back to the person. This facility can do about 200 cars per day, so depending on how many people are in the car is how many people you will actually serve. It’s not only faster and easier, it’s also smarter and safer because you’re not exposing people to a person who may be positive.”
