Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-Howard Beach) is hosting a district-wide COVID-19 test distribution event. The Assemblywoman will be giving away free at-home COVID-19 tests to the residents of the 23rd Assembly District on Friday, May 20.

In response to the increase in cases, Pheffer Amato, through a partnership with Gov. Kathy Hochul, will distribute Covid-19 tests at three different district locations:
- Ozone Park Library: 92-24 Rockaway Blvd., Ozone Park from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.
- Queens Public Library at Peninsula: 92-25 Rockaway Beach Blvd., Rockaway Beach from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
- Wavecrest Shopping Center: 239 Beach 20th St., Far Rockaway from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
“As the numbers increase we must continue to be vigilant and careful. Testing is a simple way to ensure we do not spread COVID-19 and keep our loved ones and community safe. We have the tools to keep ourselves healthy and I am working to ensure they are properly utilized,” Pheffer Amato said.
