I traveled from NYC to CA for thanksgiving. Trying to follow the new NY travel requirements and got tested in CA w/ negative results. So easy to test here.

But I’m trying to schedule test upon arrival back in NYC next week. It’s impossible to find a testing center that will test you without having any symptoms or exposure.

How the heck am I supposed to follow the NY travel requirements which says I need to get a test if no tests are available!! 😩

Hilarious to me how willful you’re being at everyone’s very kind and non-judgmental replies, when the real issue here is that you made an enormously selfish error of judgment by traveling across the country during the worst phase this country’s seen of this pandemic, without adequate planning to ensure safety throughout the entire process.

Quarantine. If you “can’t” (you can), just know that it’s people like you who’re making this whole thing last and last and last 😘

I asked about how to find a test, that is all

like

Fudge 2 symptoms when you need to get a test. Ie: I have a sore throat and headache; I lost sense of taste and smell. It’s sad that you have to do that to get a test but unfortunately, it is only way. We were exposed to someone who tested positive, and they won’t let you get a test until you develop symptoms. How the heck are things going to improve if you are walking around getting others sick???

At OP testing is in short supply in NY again. Not really sure why but the usual way of getting tested is backed up because of recent increases. I had exposure two Saturdays ago as someone I know tested positve last Friday. Took me until today to get a test and wont know my results for two days. At best, Im negative, at worst Im asymptomatic but havw already infected my entire family. Kinda defeats the purpose if you cant get a test within 24 hours.

I did check that and it still wasn’t enough to fit testing criteria

Testing centers run by NY State don’t require that you have symptoms.

They do when you try to make any appointments or order and at home test

Also tell them you just traveled recently on a crowded airplane and you have a headache or some other symptoms. I just had to do that yesterday

Just don’t- how would they know

Have you tried CVS? I flew into NYC last Mon and got a test on Fri. Appointments fill up but are available. Make sure to check early in the morning as I could only book up to 2 days in advance. I also just got my Pixel box today - ordered on Fri. They put a cap on how many can be ordered daily so again check early in the morning.

For pixel, the options I chose were, no symptoms, low risk and testing recommended.
