Three new Free COVID-19 testing sites are offered by the Kern County Latino COVID-19 Task Force as testing continues to be a vital focal point for Kern County.
“The county being in Tier 1 (Purple) has many businesses concerned for their economic survival,” said Jay Tamsi, co-founder of the Kern County Latino COVID-19 Task Force. “We need to take testing seriously and work towards our economy re-opening and able to operate. Through testing and tracing we are able to slow the transmission rate having people self-isolate properly to slow the spread of the virus locally.”
Tamsi added that the county is still required to meet state guidelines to remain at this stage of being open or to be moved forward. Among the key weekly benchmarks are increased testing results.
