As we head into the winter months, we have seen a dramatic increase in the spread of COVID-19. Early warnings of a second wave proved to be true. It is here and we need to take it seriously. One of the leading causes of the spread are friend and family gatherings. We urge everyone to take all of the necessary precautions to prevent infection during the holiday season by following the protocol well outlined in the media over the past several months. 

We want to assure all residents that we continue to demand that Suffolk County establish more testing facilities on the east end. We will not stop until our voices get heard and that the need for expanded and convenient access be met. We will also continue to establish partnerships with the medical community and work together as we seek to expand COVID-19 testing access.      

We believe that it is important for the public to know there are locations that are currently available which provide COVID-19 testing. We hope you find this information helpful.     

COVID-19 information is available on the Southold Town website: www.southoldtownny.gov .
