The city said in a message Sunday afternoon:
"The city of Hoboken has canceled COVID-19 testing originally scheduled through Bespoke for this upcoming week at the Multi-Service Center. Anyone who lives, works or goes to school in Hoboken and signed up for testing through Bespoke Monday through Friday is welcome to reschedule through one of the City’s other providers or other facilities.
