rapid testing

Broome County Executive Jason Garnar says the number of COVID-19 cases in Broome County finally seems to be hitting a plateau and may be headed slowly down.

Broome Executive Jason Garnar: “We’re all tired of COVID” but the tracers are just doing their job.

Broome County is reopening its COVID-19 rapid testing site starting September 27 in light of the increase in new cases over the past several weeks.

Binghamton Rumble Ponies fans will be able to get a fast Covid-19 test at the stadium before the team's first series of home games.

New York State Health Commissioner Doctor Howard Zucker is now announcing the guidelines that will allow visitors back into nursing homes on February 26.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says nursing home visits are about to resume.

Broome's Executive says the 200+ deaths from the pandemic in area nursing homes has weighed heavily on him and other officials but it had not been a surprise.

Broome County officials say there are still appointments available at the mobile rapid testing site that is currently set up on Binghamton’s South Side.

Broome County Executive Jason Garnar says a shortage of test supplies is continuing to limit tests to only people with symptoms and who have an appointment.

New cases of COVID-19 and deaths continue to grow in the Southern Tier and with more demand for testing, Broome stops taking walk-ins.
