LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – New COVID-19 testing is now available in Lake County.
The county of Lake reported that Verily’s Project Baseline arrived in Lake County on Wednesday and began work to operate a mobile drive-thru testing site, in collaboration with Team Rubicon USA and Lake County Health Services staff.
Lake County’s Health Services Department’s Public Health Division has been working to increase COVID-19 testing opportunities within Lake County in order to protect communities and meet the governor’s required mandates for moving through the process of reopening the local economy.
Officials reported that surveillance testing is a must in Lake County, where a quarter of the population is at risk of severe complications.
Residents can now screen their symptoms and, if eligible, make an appointment for testing at various sites around the county, using Project Baseline’s COVID-19 Testing Program online screening tool and appointment scheduling system, found at www.projectbaseline.com/COVID19 .
This program will focus first on high-risk populations. Screening and testing criteria are based on public health guidelines, which may be updated to reflect the latest guidance from public health authorities.
Project Baseline’s COVID-19 Program provides a connected solution to support individuals from screening through testing and receipt of their test results.
Verily developed the Baseline COVID-19 Program working closely with state and local government health authorities and other private health organizations, with the goal of expanding access to COVID-19 screening and testing.
Based on the COVID-19 screener and testing appointment availability, individuals will learn whether they are eligible for testing through this program, and be provided a testing location and appointment.
Eligible persons must be 18 years or older and live in Lake County.
Project Baseline can take appointments up to 48 hours in advance. Testing sites will be rotated throughout the county.
Appointments will be scheduled Monday through Friday. Results are usually returned within two to five days. Times, dates and sites will be adjusted based on community need.
