As Gov. Andrew Cuomo urged eligible New Yorkers to get tested for COVID-19 and touted the state’s testing capacity Sunday, recent state data shows a dramatic lack of testing among the state’s prison population.
“We just don’t have enough New Yorkers coming to be tested,” said the third-term governor Sunday, noting the state has hundreds of testing sites. He reported that some testing sites have the ability to do about 15,000 tests a day, but are only conducting about 5,000.
