PATCHOGUE, NY — As the demand for COVID-19 testing continued to increase on Tuesday, CityMD announced the temporary closure of two more Long Island locations – Patchogue and Mineola – starting Wednesday. The move was made to preserve the medical group's ability to staff its sites, according to its website. "It is our hope that closing sites now will best allow us to avoid future closures as this surge continues," the statement read. Officials noted that most CityMD locations are working "at full capacity," and workers are doing their best "to meet the urgent care needs of the people of New York and New Jersey." "Continuing to provide these services to the community is a top priority; however, our physicians and teammates are also a priority," the statement said. Other locations that are closed on Long Island also include both north Sunrise Highway in Bay Shore, and Merrick.
