Earlier, we reported that, in an arrangement with the RIDA Free Food Pantry, City Council Member Julie Menin would hand out KN95 face masks from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. Now, there’s more., tomorrow.
The Roosevelt Island Daily News
According to Menin’s office, in addition to top-level face masks provided by NYC Health & Hospitals, they’ve also obtained at-home test kits courtesy of Mark Levine, the Manhattan Borough President. Each kit contains two rapid tests.
Both the food pantry and the face mask/rapid test giveaway take place in the lobby at 546 Main Street, home of the CBN/RI Senior Center. With the virus spreading rapidly, face masks and social distancing are required.
