A new rapid COVID-19 testing site has opened at the Kew Gardens Hills library branch.

The library has been temporarily converted to a testing site and COVID resource center to help residents within the Central Queens red zone get through the crisis.

The facility offers free tests to patients everyday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. starting Thursday through Sunday, Nov. 1 via a partnership with the city’s Test & Trace Corps.

The branch had previously reopened for to-go library service, but closed on Oct. 5 in response to concerns of COVID-19 spread in the area.

The Kew Gardens Hills library, located at 72-33 Vleigh Pl., is within the state-mandated red zone.

A Queens grand jury indicted a Glendale man on charges of assault in the first degree and other crimes for slapping a 9-year-old girl in the face, which was caught on camera, and then biting off the fingertip of an off-duty NYPD sergeant during his apprehension earlier this month.

Feliz Enrique, 31, of 68th Street, was arraigned in Queens Supreme Court Wednesday on an indictment charging him with assault in the first, second, and third degree, endangering the welfare of a child, and harassment for the attacks. Enrique was remanded into custody without bail and faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
