Nassau County says it is making progress in "crushing" its COVID-19 hot spots.

It has been 10 days since COVID-19 restrictions went into in effect in parts of Lawrence, Inwood and Cedarhurst. Schools went remote-only, gyms had to close and dining returned to outdoor-only.

The moves came after the state labeled those communities in orange and yellow zones due to an increase in COVID-19 cases.

But on Monday, county and state officials indicated that things seem to be improving in the Queens-Nassau cluster. Gov. Andrew Cuomo suggested by Wednesday that the maps could be rezoned and some restrictions lifted.

Nassau Health Commissioner Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein says the county will get back its latest data Tuesday from the specifically affected zones in the Five Towns areas.

"We've done everything we've can, we've met with leaders in the community and hopefully we've turned the numbers back and gotten great help and response, so I'm hopefully we will have better news tomorrow," says Eisenstein.

In an attempt to further crush the cluster, Nassau County will open a rapid testing center Tuesday at the Five Towns Community Center.

"Now they'll have an answer within 15 minutes and so it doesn't disrupt life," says Eisenstein. "You'll know within 15 minutes if you're a case and need to be isolated and what the consequences of that are."

The rapid testing center in Lawrence will be a drive-thru facility. More details will be announced Tuesday.
