Santa Clara County Announces Expanded Testing Options and Self-Administered Testing

Santa Clara County Public Health Officials are reporting double the rate of positive COVID-19 test results –from 2 percent to 4 percent– over the past month and have announced expanded availability and options at testing sites throughout the County. The drop-in testing site at Emmanuel Baptist Church in San Jose will offer an observed self-administered nasal swab, a testing method that has the potential to increase the number of people getting tested. Testing hours are also expanding at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds mass-testing facility, which will begin operating seven days a week with extra hours from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. during the peak mid-week period. This will increase testing capacity to 5,000 per day on those days. 

Go here to find free testing options throughout the County. By-appointment testing will be available at the Palo Alto Art Center on Friday, December 18. Go here for more information and to sign up (this link does not work, as of March, 2023) for an appointment starting 7 days in advance of the testing date.
