Workers in protective suits check id's of patients as they arrive by car at the State's First Drive Through COVID-19 Mobile Testing Center at Glen Island Park in New Rochelle, New York March 13, 2020.

New York will begin its first "drive-through" testing center for COVID-19 in New Rochelle, Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office confirmed to CNBC on Friday.

Cuomo is touring the facility Friday morning, spokesman Will Burns said.

The number of confirmed cases in the state has reached 325 as of Thursday afternoon, according to the state's official website. At least 148 of those cases are in Westchester County, where the city of New Rochelle is located.

Earlier this week Cuomo deployed the National Guard to New Rochelle and created a one-mile containment zone to assist with the outbreak. Cuomo said schools in New Rochelle would be closed for two weeks beginning Thursday, and officials are adding a satellite testing facility within the containment area to test residents for the virus.
