Nineteen urgent care medical clinics were temporarily closed in New Jersey and New York City on Wednesday, according to the firm that operates them, coming after President Joe Biden a day earlier vowed to expand testing for the Omicron variant.

“To preserve our ability to staff our sites, we are temporarily closing certain locations effective tomorrow, December 22. It is our hope that closing sites now will best allow us to avoid future closures as this surge continues,” CityMD, an urgent care clinic, said in a statement.
