stunned Posted July 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Does anyone know where we can get a free Covid test prior to cruising? We are staying on W 44th Street between 6th Avenue and 7th Avenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted July 19, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I don't believe there is any more free testing. Doing a telehealth is probably the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of pharmacies that still provide testing in NYC require that it be drive up-- so you would have to rent a car to do it. Just do the telehealth test-- they are relatively inexpensive and can be done in your hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an office of the CityMD urgent care chain at 345 West 42nd St., which is between 8th and 9th Ave. They do COVID testing at all their offices. Government funding for universal free COVID testing has ended and you would have to check with your insurance company to see if they cover testing for travel. As other posters have stated telehealth testing is a good and inexpensive option. Edited July 20, 2022 by njhorseman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LImom Posted July 21, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 21, 2022 You can also search Labq.com for locations in NYC. They are located throughout Manhattan (on various street corners with approx locations-due to parking availability for their trucks, listed on their website) and they take insurance. Just be sure you are using a legitimate location for testing like LabQ in NYC before giving out your insurance information. There are other legit companies as well but family members have used them in the past with no issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
