Supervisor Susan Peters Update: COVID-19 TESTING AVAILABLE

You are subscribed to News updates from District 3 - Susan Peters for Sacramento County. 

Dear Friends,

 

Sacramento County Public Health wants to remind everyone that COVID-19 testing is free and appointments are available at 11 locations.  Testing appointments can be made for anyone (2 years old and older).

 

Health professionals advise that if you have spent time with people outside of your household and you weren’t able to physically distance, you should consider getting tested because you may have been exposed unknowingly to the COVID virus plus it is important to remember that if you test negative once, that does not mean you will not get sick with COVID-19.  The test result only means that you did not have COVID-19 at the time you were tested.  Accordingly, the public is encouraged to get tested regularly, especially in the event that physical distancing measures could not be maintained.

 

While there are signs that new COVID-19 cases are steadily reducing, it remains important to continue to not gather, follow physical distancing measures, wear face coverings in public, wash your hands and get tested regularly in order to slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community.

 

For information on free COVID-19 testing locations, please visit the Sacramento County’s COVID-19 website.
