11:30 A.M.: Watch Gov. Andrew Cuomo's update on the coronavirus

STONY POINT - The wide parking lot at Anthony Wayne Recreation Area has turned into a medical installation-in-waiting, with white tents and hundreds of orange cones creating corridors for future cars.

Two Rockland medical facilities have set up white open tents where cars can queue up. Another is expected to open shortly.

The facilities are all part of the growing push to get New Yorkers tested for COVID-19. The state has taken various measures to expand testing capabilities, including contracting with private labs. Testing capabilities are expected to increase.

But people can't just drive up to get tested.

A sign greeting visitors to Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern read "COVID-19 Testing By Appointment Only. Contact your primary care provider to schedule an appointment."

Drivers are advised to keep their windows closed and show photo ID.

Workers in protective garb were on site, but vehicle traffic was scarce Tuesday afternoon.

Outside Crystal Run Health Care in West Nyack, vehicles lined up through the back parking lot to pull up, one by one, on the east side of the building. Medical workers would connect with occupants, one by one.

The West Nyack facility has been designated to evaluate Crystal Run patients who were potentially infected with coronavirus, said marketing manager Lynn Haskin. The health-care network has its own coronavirus hotline: 845-643-3909.

Crystal Run patients who are symptomatic could be checked in via phone or physically examined by a provider clothed in personal protective equipment, Haskin said. If tests are deemed necessary, those tests can be performed in their car or in the office, depending on the providers’ assessment.

People who are asymptomatic won't be tested at any Crystal Run location, Haskin said, "unless directed to do so by the Department of Health or to release quarantine restrictions."

Another drive-thru testing center tent is being set up by Medrite Urgent Care at 193 Route 59, Spring Valley, in a parking lot away from the office. Testing was expected to start there later this week. Registration is required at 845-271-6300.

Big tent

On Tuesday afternoon, the state was installing a large tent at the Anthony Wayne Recreation Area off Exit 17 of the Palisades Interstate Parkway. A smaller tent that had been set up at the same site last Friday was disassembled, apparently after communication obstacles.

Hundreds of orange cones were set up as well as trailers for personnel and Verizon satellite trucks.

A state police cruiser blocked off each of the dedicated northbound and southbound entrances to the park, which sits on the border of Rockland and Orange counties.
