There is light at the COVID tunnel for the first time in months.
The county’s first community-based testing site that was announced last week will open tomorrow, and Governor Gavin Newsom announced earlier today that some retail stores can reopen for drop off or pick up as early as Friday.
“We are excited that tomorrow will be our first day of COVID testing at the community-based testing site in Santa Maria,” said Dr. Van Do-Reynoso, the county’s public health director. “At this time, all 132 appointments for the first day have been filled, and the rest of the testing schedule is quickly filling up.”
