The biggest share—1 million tests every other week through the end of the academic year—will be reserved for schools outside NYC. The city’s school system already has an adequate reserve to get it through the school year, according to Gov. Hochul’s office.
Insurers will soon be required to provide eight at-home tests per month.New York State will distribute more than 20 million at-home COVID tests this spring — including more than 1.7 million to New York City public housing tenants — Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Thursday.
“Let's get those in people's hands,” Hochul said. “If there's any warning signs, anyone's concerned – that they can get that test immediately.” Another 1.74 million will go to the New York City Housing Authority — enough for four tests per household, according to the state. Of those, Hochul’s office said about 50 million had been distributed before this latest push, including about 30 million that went to schools. The remaining 20 million will be kept in reserve as a precaution, Hochul said.
