PHASE 3
QUEENS
Expanding testing from 8
to 40 public housing
developments. BROOKLYN
72 faith-based sites with Northwell and SOMOS.

Now we must work to stop community spread

in these neighborhoods.
• PPE availability
• Hand Sanitizer
• Social distancing
• Public health and education
This is true across New York State
and across the nation.
I am directing all local governments
to test in low-income communities
and develop outreach programs.
