MTA Expands COVID Testing Sites
Your union told the MTA that the number of subway locations for COVID-19 testing and screening was insufficient. The authority has agreed to add several new sites to the schedule, including: the Stillwell Ave. complex in Brooklyn, the Wakefield station at the northern end of the No. 2 Line (East 241st St. & White Plains Rd) in the Bronx, the Rail Control Center in Manhattan, and 130 Livingston St., Brooklyn.
Testing will also take place at one of the Church Ave. subway stations on a line the MTA has not yet designated.
The MTA's current schedule for November can be found through the MTA employe portal and this link.
Getting the MTA to test and screen thousands of Local 100 members a week for COVID-19 was a top priority for TWU Local 100. Experts agree this will help identify and quarantine members who are sick but not showing symptoms, and help defend against the infectious virus. Take advantage of this program. Get Tested!
Don't wait. If testing is not currently scheduled at your work location in the very near future, go to one of the 52 Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care centers in the region. They are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekends. For more information, visit: http://Gohealthuc.com/nyc
