MORRISVILLE – Beginning Thursday, Jan. 13, SUNY Morrisville will become a free COVID-19 testing site, joining other campuses under Gov. Kathy  Hochul’s initiative to create more testing sites and help keep New Yorkers safe.

 

Testing, which is open to the public by appointment or walk-in, is in Hamilton Hall, 31 Chenango St., Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.  

 

Appointments can be scheduled  here, or through this link(www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-hochul-announces-10-additional-suny-campus-testing-sites-open-across-new-york). Each site has capacity for approximately 225 appointments per day and up to 50 walk-ins.

 

Community members with questions regarding the testing site should contact Quadrant Biosciences by calling their support voicemail at (315)614-2325 or emailing covid-support@quadrantbiosciences.com.

 

“We are not defenseless as we fight the winter surge: vaccines, boosters and testing can help us slow the spread and protect our loved ones,”  Hochul said.  "These new SUNY sites build on our ongoing efforts to make testing more available as part of our Winter Surge Plan, and will be part of more than 2,000 locations statewide where New Yorkers can easily get tested for COVID-19. We are utilizing every possible state resource to keep New Yorkers safe and protect our fragile health care system." 

 

“I want to thank our SUNY partners for hosting these additional testing locations across New York State,” said acting Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett.

“Knowing your COVID-19 status through testing and taking the necessary precautions when you are infected are key to keeping our kids in school and our communities functioning as we push through this winter surge.”

 

SUNY Morrisville’s curricula are enriched with applied learning and pave the way for opportunity at both the Morrisville and Norwich campuses. An action-oriented, interactive learning lab, the college is a national leader in technology and has been lauded for its exemplary, innovative and effective community service programs.

 

The college was ranked among the Best Regional Colleges in the North by U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges 2022 issue and earned additional recognition in several categories, including Top Public College (North), Best Value, Social Mobility and Best College for Veterans.
