Free testing for Covid-19 is available by appointment at Cal Expo and several other sites in Sacramento County.
To schedule a test, visit Project Baseline, fill out the survey and schedule a time for your drive though test. Two persons may schedule tests at the same time (if slots are available) and may arrive in the same automobile. While you may be certain you are negative, testing helps county public health officials gain a more accurate value for the actual number of infected persons.
This testing is NOT intended for people experiencing severe symptoms. If you are experiencing sypmptoms contact your healthcare provider immediately.
