As reported December 5:

… Newly-elected Roosevelt Island/Upper
East Side NYC Council Member-elect Julie Menin and NY State Assembly Member Rebecca Seawright answered the pleas from residents and immediately worked to bring a NYC Health & Hospitals Test And Trace Mobile Covid Test Unit

The Mobil Covid Test Unit was on Roosevelt Island

from December 6 – 12, but not today.

This morning I asked Council Member Elect Julie Menin:

Mobile Covid Testing van is gone today. Do you know if it will be back?

Any info on how many tests they did?

Ms Menin replied: 

City told me that it will be back next week 12/20-12/24 and will be test and vaccination. 

About a 1000 tests for the whole week were done (combined rapid & PCR) but that doesn’t mean 1000 unique individuals as many people opt to have both rapid and PCR together.

I spoke with Ms Seawright on Saturday at the Roosevelt Island Covid 19 mobile test van.

Good job by Roosevelt Island’s elected officials Ms Menin and  Ms Seawright.

According to NYC Health Departmen, the most recent 7 Day Covid Testing Data
from December 4 – 10  for Roosevelt Island Zip Code 10044
shows 842 people tested and 16 Positive Case for a rate of 1.9%.
