continue to rise across Long Island, an outdoor COVID-19 testing site has reopened to help stop the spread in
Riverhead.
The
testing site is located at the Riverhead County Center and will be open Monday
through Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. To make an appointment, call 845-553-8030.
Meanwhile,
a
pop-up driving test site opened at Red Creek Park in Hampton Bays on Friday to
help identify new infections.
Both
Hampton Bays and Riverhead have been designated ‘yellow zones’ by the state.
Yellow
zones mean restrictions including houses of worship limited to 50% capacity,
mass gatherings capped at 25 people, and indoor and outdoor dining limited to
four people per table.
Businesses
and schools would stay open, but with expanded testing, something that's
already happening and there's plans for even more.
