I don’t know whether this is because of the Omicron variant of #COVID-19, but the walk-in medical clinic has had lines waiting outside for the past few days. Most days, it looks to be twelve to twenty people. There are also some sidewalk testing places. The closest one had about fifteen people waiting in line at noon. The one across the street had about five people waiting at 16:00. There were also two testing vans that used to park nearby, but I haven’t seen either in a few weeks.

TL;DR: Not data, but observation says that a lot of people are lined up waiting to take COVID-19 tests. That could indicate that the new variant is spreading quickly in #NYC. #2019-nCoV
