What Interested Contractors Should Know
Does Maricopa County Perform COVID-19 Tests?
Public Health does not conduct COVID-19 testing. Public Health’s primary role is to conduct surveillance and case investigation activities to help curb the spread of disease in the community. COVID-19 tests are performed by healthcare providers who are trained in specimen collection and infection control procedures.
The Arizona State Public Health Laboratory (ASPHL) is the state public lab entity that receives some COVID-19 test specimens and analyzes them for results; Maricopa County Public Health works with ASPHL and facilitates testing for those who qualify to use that lab. However, there are many private commercial labs that also process test results through relationships with various healthcare providers, hospital systems, and other clinical settings. Anyone seeking testing should contact their healthcare provider or visit azhealth.gov/TestingBlitz for upcoming testing dates and locations.

Are Hospitalizations Really Going Up?

Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine, Medical Director for Disease Control at Maricopa County Public Health, says that Maricopa County has continued to see an overall decline in its hospitalization rate due to COVID-19.
