BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — Two mobile test sites will be open in Bed-Stuy this week to help New Yorkers who need to get tested for the coronavirus.

NYC Health + Hospitals will run a mobile test site at Marcy Plaza throughout the week and set up a site at the Marcy Houses, as they have since earlier this month, according to a list of this week's testing availability.

The mobile sites are among the hundreds of locations where New Yorkers can get tested for the coronavirus across the five boroughs. New York City now has the capacity to test 120,000 people a day for the coronavirus with more than 300 testing sites through the public health system.
