While local officials have doubled NYC's COVID testing capacity to more than 200 sites in response to omicron, more than half are mobile units and they’re not included in the map that headlines the city’s “testing locations” homepage.
For people like Christine Callahan, a Greenpoint resident who gets tested regularly for her job in construction administration, the map may be the first and only centralized resource they see when searching. Callahan consulted the map in mid-December and found two testing sites near her office, a CVS and a Quest Diagnostics.
Ultimately, Callahan said, she had no choice but to pay $35 for a two-pack of rapid tests at a nearby pharmacy.The map used by the city is created by a San Francisco-based health data company called Castlight. City and state health departments across the country have added the company’s map, which covers the entire United States, to their websites. Since the early months of the pandemic, it’s racked up 5 million unique visits nationwide, according to Castlight’s website.
