Dr. Stuart Weiss: COVID-19 Update Monday 14-September-2020
By Dr. Stuart Weiss, FACEP, FAAP, CBCP
September 14, 2020
Well, the day I have been working towards for the past few weeks is tomorrow. We are opening the first rapid covid testing center in Manhattan. We open at 9AM on Tuesday. All week, people have been banging on the windows asking to get tested. We have done almost 200 tests in the past four days for folks who had an emergency even though we weren’t open (i.e. travel, visiting a vulnerable family member, people who needed reassurance that they were okay, etc.)So far, all negative. Its a good trend. Wish us luck tomorrow.
