Last week, I led my colleagues in the Assembly in urging Governor Kathy Hochul to prioritize vulnerable communities like Yonkers in the procurement and distribution of additional COVID-19 resources.
Yonkers and other communities continue to experience a significant shortage in available testing, masks, vaccines, and other items which are proven to stop the spread of this contagion. Most importantly, we need a state-run testing site here in Yonkers, to ensure that the residents of New York's third-largest city have an easily accessible location to learn their COVID-19 diagnosis status. Our communities have disproportionately suffered from the COVID-19 pandemic. As the Omicron variant rages on, it's important that we ensure that equity remains the focus of our ongoing response.
