Do you know of a business or museum or other indoor place in NYC that still requires masks to enter? Please share the information by filling out this form! Covid isn’t over. I don’t want to keep getting infected over + over again. Thanks! @MandateMasksNY docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
NEW: If you're suffering from long covid symptoms, you can now access care via 212-COVID19 (Press 4). You'll be connected to one of @NYCHealthSystem's centers for long-term covid follow-up care—regardless of insurance or ability to pay. More info: nychealthandhospitals.org/test-and-trace…
Information on treatment for Covid in 12 different languages.
New Yorkers - If you’re quarantining at home with Covid the city can send you a care package with masks, tests, a thermometer, and hand sanitizer. To request, call 212-COVID19. You can also use that number for help requesting medical assistance. More info nychealthandhospitals.org/test-and-trace…
Best kept secret in covid testing in NYC: Health Dept's "Covid Express" sites. PCR results in < 24 hrs (and often in an hour or two). Always free regardless of insurance. 8 Locations. By appt only. Slots open every day this week. Sign up here: www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid…
Question - Does anyone know if a CityMD Covid test is being covered under a Medicaid insurance plan?
And for Queens and Bronx...
At this point no NYers should go without a home test kit if they need one. We have the most supply we've ever had. You can pick up for FREE at libraries and cultural institutions all over NYC. This week's update on locations & hours:
There have been some reports of doctors not being fully aware of how paxlovid is prescribed. You don't pick it up at your local pharmacy! Has to be ordered via the official NYC Health Dept program. This is the letter laying out how it works that you can show you're prescriber...
During the omicron wave paxlovid was in extremely short supply. But that has changed now. That's one of the most important reasons that you should get tested asap if you have symptoms--so that you get an Rx for this treatment before your case gets more serious.
NYC Health Dept. considers people to be high risk if they are 65+ or immunocompromised. These are the folks who are getting priority on paxlovid prescriptions.
Not enough people know: NYC is now offering *free, same-day home delivery* of paxlovid (new, effective anti-viral pill). If you test pos, especially if you're hi-risk, ask your doc about this treatment. If you don't have a doc call 212-COVID19. And for now we have good supply.
Can we do this in NYC?

@lalalivy28 @SamanthColeman There's no training that will allow actors on stage to spot and discern this. The only training you can give is to make clear to actors it is not their responsibility to police the crowd for recording devices.
Today, an actor yelled at me multiple times mid-show for recording a Broadway show, even when I wasn’t. I was using a captioning device. My worst nightmare realized.
What a perfect microcosm of Elon's entire career.
