New York has begun testing healthcare workers for CCP virus antibodies and will do the same next week with transit and law enforcement workers, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on April 25.

Frontline healthcare workers at four New York City hospitals that have handled high volumes of patients with CCP virus, which stands for the Chinese Communist Party  virus, will be the first tested under the new program, Cuomo said. The hospitals were named as Bellevue hospital, Elmhurst hospital, Montefiore, and SUNY Downstate Health Sciences.
