NYC’s testing map is frustrating for those used to easily finding the location of every restaurant or tattoo parlor in their area—while testing capacity was doubled in response to the omicron surge, more than half the sites are not included in the map.
For people like Christine Callahan, a Greenpoint resident who gets tested regularly for her job in construction administration, the map may be the first and only centralized resource they see when searching. Callahan consulted the map in mid-December and found two testing sites near her office, a CVS and a Quest Diagnostics.
Ultimately, Callahan said, she had no choice but to pay $35 for a two-pack of rapid tests at a nearby pharmacy.The map used by the city is created by a San Francisco-based health data company called Castlight. City and state health departments across the country have added the company’s map, which covers the entire United States, to their websites. Since the early months of the pandemic, it’s racked up 5 million unique visits nationwide, according to Castlight’s website.
