Santa Clara County-operated COVID-19 testing sites now can send results by text message and email. Both delivery methods provide results usually within 1-2 days after testing.
“Testing is our ticket to fewer restrictions,” said Dr. Jennifer Tong, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center’s Associate Chief Medical Officer.
Testing at the County Fairgrounds site has also ramped up to 1,500 tests per day. According to local health officials, there are more than 50 COVID-19 testing sites in Santa Clara County.
“Fast test results improve the contact tracing work, which keeps our county as safe as possible from COVID-19,” Tong added.
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.
