New Yorkers can now get tested for COVID during their daily commute on the subway.
Today five new emerging test sites are opening within the city’s metro stations.
Starting Monday, the MTA offers walk-in tests and vaccinations in Times Square and Grand Central.
Starting today, free PCR tests will also be available at Penn Station in Manhattan, Broadway Junction in Brooklyn, and East 180th Street in the Bronx.
The MTA posted a message on social media announcing the opening of the new test centers and recalling the existing ones.
“Looking for a free and convenient COVID-19 PCR test? Look no further! ????” the message reads.
