COVID-19 TESTING
STARTING the week of 2/28 –
The Bishop testing site will reduce days of operation to every Monday and Wednesday.
and
The Lone Pine testing site will reduce days of operation to Fridays only.
Reporting at-home test results (positive and/or negative) through the secure platform is optional. If you choose to report your results, it does help your local health department track COVID-19 in your community.
When wearing a mask, consistent and correct use is important: It is only effective if it is worn over your mouth and nose.
Poor Fitting Mask: A poor fitting mask is not effective. If there are gaps between the face and mask, such as above the nose or at the sides, air that has virus particles can leak in or out around the sides of the mask.
Good Fitting Mask: An effective and well fitted mask has no gaps between the face and mask. Good fit forces the air that you breathe out and breathe in to go through the mask and be filtered. Good filtration blocks the virus particles from going through the mask itself.
