Dr. Rosen helped on the front lines of the Coronavirus epidemic in NYC and launched www.covidtestingnyc.com to help businesses safely reopen with a testing plan for employees. *In-office testing. We come to you. *Offering covid-19 testing & antibody testing *No hidden costs. Testing is covered by insurance. Why Us? Dr Rosen is now working with businesses to try and avoid outbreaks with a combination of tests for present infection and for coronavirus antibodies “We have helped business owners to screen their entire employee pool prior to reopening so that those who are infected could be quarantined and not risk spreading the virus to other workers,” he explained. “Primarily, that strategy is to identify those actively infected and have them quarantined – with no loss in pay – so that employees are not incentivized to lie about their results and keep coming to work and exposing others because they need their pay check. Those employees who tested positive can then be retested over-time until they are confirmed negative and then can safely return to work.” Dr Daniel Rosen, a bariatrics surgeon who pivoted during the pandemic to focus on population-testing for Covid-19, spent a lot of time in the weeks when New York was at the epicenter of the pandemic traveling between people’s houses with testing kits, because “while the hospitals were making arrangements and preparing for the worsening epidemic, no one was there for all the people who were trapped in their houses and potentially sick with this disease”. The work was often “gruelling”, he said, adding “The positivity rates at that point in New York – especially Brooklyn – were sky-high. Around 50 per cent of the people who I tested in the first few weeks came back positive.” Dr Rosen spent April and May catching Ubers between houses and apartments, and he managed to test over 1,000 patients in just eight weeks.
