New York state is
taking new steps to stop the spread of coronavirus amid the recent spike in
cases.
Gov. Kathy Hochul
announced that she is implementing a new portal that will allow residents to
request at-home testing kits.
The state is
expecting 2 million tests will be requested within the next two weeks and will be focusing on areas with low
vaccination rates.
Hochul says once
the stockpile of tests is large enough, the state will open the portal to
all New Yorkers.
