Hello Friends,
It’s Friday, March 20th. Here is an Update on COVID-19 Response
  • Gov. Cuomo dramatically ramped up New York’s coronavirus response on Friday by ordering a statewide lockdown that will shutter most businesses and places strict new restrictions on residents as the number of cases in the state surged above 7,000. For more information Click Here
  • ​​​​​​​The City Dept. of Health is now posting a daily health status report here.  (Scroll to “Daily Syndromic and Case Data Update” and click “COVID-19 Daily Case Data Summary (PDF)"
 
  • NYC Health + Hospitals today announced expanded, appointment-only COVID-19 testing capacity across 10 acute-care hospitals, seven Gotham Health community-based health centers, and four drive-thru test sites for New Yorkers with moderate-to-severe symptoms. With this expansion, H+H anticipates serving 150 people per day at each of its 10 centers;   50-75 people per day at the Gotham clinics; the drive-thru sites will be able to accommodate 100 people per day. It's a start. New Yorkers who have high priority because of age, pre-existing conditions and symptoms, call 1-844-NYC-4NYC for more information. Patients who obtain appointments will receive an expedited consultation with a primary care physician to capture their medical history before their sample is collected for testing. This will ensure that the appropriate medical treatment is provided should a test come back positive. This is all part of a private-public partnership between the City’s public health system and BioReference. All COVID-19 testing is being provided at no cost to patients.
     
  • The New York Blood Center is experiencing critically low blood and platelet appointments-- making it difficult to meet patient needs and hospital demand. If you’re able to donate blood, please visit www.nybloodcenter.org for information on scheduling an appointment.
  • If you’re a small business owner in NYC affected by COVID-19, visit nyc.gov/covid19biz or call 311 for info on grants, updates & more.
 
  • Food Bank for New York City has established a COVID-19 webpage that outlines its efforts to stay open and solicits community support. Notably, their Harlem Community Kitchen and Food Pantry remains open at 252 W. 116th St. in Harlem.
