BP Vito Fossella locks in additional South Shore COVID testing site for next week

1/7/2022

 
Sites will help mitigate historically long COVID-testing wait times 

​Borough President Vito J. Fossella, in partnership with NYC Health + Hospitals, has announced an additional testing site at Great Kills Park which builds on the other three sites secured earlier this week. All mobile vans will be able to serve 250 to 300 people a day and are open from 8a.m. - 7p.m. 
Here are the locations and schedules for next week as the sites will rotate: 
  • Brookfield Park, at Arthur Kill Rd & Brookfield Ave, 10308 
  • Great Kills Park (Gateway National Recreation Area), Parking Lot A, at Buffalo Street and Hylan Blvd, 10306
  • Wolfe’s Pond Park (Parking Lot), Chester Street, 10312
  • Conference House Park, 7455 Hylan Boulevard, 10307
  • Charleston Shopping Center
“These new locations for the South Shore will fill a gap that we’ve seen over the past few weeks as there has been a higher demand in testing as the new variant continues to spread,” said Borough President Fossella. “I am hopeful these locations will also reduce the long wait times that Staten Islanders have endured over the past month. I want to thank the city for their partnership in making Staten Island a priority.”
From Monday through Wednesday, the vans will be at Great Kills, Conference House, and Wolfe’s Pond Park. From Thursday through Sunday, the vans will be at Brookfield Park, Charleston Shopping Center and Wolfe’s Pond Park. ​
