The Glendale and Ridgewood area
has one of the highest COVID-19
positivity rates in Queens, and
offi cials are pushing for more testing
sites to be installed throughout the
district.
The area’s seven-day positivity rate
is currently over 16% with nearly 1,000
new cases, according to city health
department data.
On Monday, Dec. 27, state Senator
Joseph Addabbo, Assemblywoman
Jenifer Rajkumar, Councilman Robert
Holden and Councilwoman-elect
Joann Ariola partnered to provide a
free COVID-19 mobile testing site at the
Woodhaven Business Improvement
District, located at 89-07 Jamaica Ave.,
from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Rapid and PCR
tests are available.
Holden’s offi ce said that The Shops
at Atlas Park would be used as a permanent
testing site on or around Jan. 1.
“With the holiday season upon us
and the omicron variant surging, no
one should be waiting in lines for
hours to get tested,” Holden wrote in
a Facebook post.

sites are in or nearby the Glendale
and Ridgewood areas. Not all are

Corps.
The Ridgewood Times and Times Newsweekly
wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year to all!
