"We don't want long lines,” says Mayor Andre
Sayegh. “We don't want
people putting themselves in harm’s way. We want to make this as accessible as
possible. Demand is so high at this time. We're on the brink of a holiday,
another holiday, so people want to get tested."

Testing will also take place for the first time on a
