After air-quality challenges last week, widespread COVID-19 testing continues this week. According to local health officials, there are more than 50 COVID-19 testing sites in Santa Clara County.
Officials continue to focus on testing, despite recent changes from the CDC, which generated pushback last week.
“It seems entirely bizarre,” said Dr. Sara Cody, Santa Clara County’s Public Health Officer said last Wednesday. “It undercuts the way we control an infectious disease.”
Testing is available both by appointment and at walk-up sites. All testing is free and does not require insurance, symptoms, or a doctor referral.
Pop-Up Sites
Pop-up sites do not require an appointment but instead give out wristbands for hour-long time slots later in the day. Supplies remain limited so organizers recommend showing up early to get a wristband slot. To see what the testing experience is like at a pop-up site, see the county video here.
