The NYPD coordinated coronavirus testing for first responders on Wednesday — but ran out of tests by noon, police sources told The Post.

Testing for the deadly COVID-19 bug was scheduled for 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot of Resorts World Casino in Queens, according to an email sent to cops Wednesday.

The testing “is only for first responders who show symptoms of COVID19, who have come into contact with someone who has COVID19, or who may have traveled outside of the country in the past 14 days,” the email said. “Anyone who does not fit this criteria will be turned away.”

But according to the source, everyone had to be turned away when the kits ran out by noon.

Officials did not specify how many test kits had been made available.
