Coronavirus Rapid Test Site – 13 Minutes
The Rapid Corona Test Sites are not in Brooklyn, but people here may want to take a quick ride to Long Island to get the test done.
Abbot Labs created a new coronavirus rapid test called the Idnow Covid-19 test which will tell people if they have coronavirus in in 13 minutes. These tests are able to be done at three centers in Long Island, New York.
You MUST CALL AFC ahead for the test – you can not just walk into the center. They will screen you and tell you if should come in. Each center can do hundreds of tests each day.
Why were three places in Long Island chosen? Abbot Labs has a relationship with AFC already for previous tests.
This new test is a simple nose swab – not like the original test which was a deep nose swab. This is a safer test for the person administering the test because the original nose swab test caused people to sneeze or cough after they are swabbed. After the test, people wait in their cars for the results.
