(DO NOT GET TESTED BY BIOREFERENCE - SEE WHY BELOW)
As the City continues to expand antibody testing for New Yorkers, Mayor Bill de Blasio today announced that free antibody testing is now available at NYC Health + Hospitals Gotham Community Health Centers across the city. Through a partnership with BioReference labs, the City will also conduct its second antibody survey at community testing sites in the five boroughs. Tests will be available by appointment through Friday, July 24th, expanding on the 47,000 New Yorkers who were tested in round 1.
"So many New Yorkers are wondering whether they've had the virus, or if they've exposed their own families," said Mayor Bill de Blasio "While antibody tests are not a fix-all solution, they will give our communities the knowledge they need to help us safely reopen our city.”
Antibody testing will be offered on an appointment-only basis from Monday, June 29 to Friday, July 24. Tests are free for all City residents over the age of 18, and available at the below sites Monday- Friday from 12:00 PM-8:00 PM or Saturday through Sunday 8:00 AM-12:00 PM.

EDITOR'S NOTE:
Here is the reason not to get tested by BioReference.
I took an anti body test from BioReference on May 16th. I still do not have the results of my test because I would not agree to the very long list of terms one has to agree to when you try to get your results. It states that you become a patient of Bioreference, that your information is not secure because BioReference uses third parties which are not mentioned, the agreement can be changed at any time, and there is a paragraph about payment of services. The anti body test is priced at $82.00 on their website.
I told this to Mayor de Blasio during a press conference, and he said his office would get me the results. The mayor's office tried, but could not unless I agree to BioReferences terms, which I will not.
People are getting rich off the testing, and the CEO of BioReference has been accused by the SEC of dumping stock two tears ago when the company stock he owned went up in price.
