- August 28, 2020 – California’s New Tiered System: https://covid19.ca.gov/safer-economy/
The “state monitoring list” is no more, and they have switched to a new tiered system that takes into account daily case rate per 100,000 and positivity rate. Counties have a mandatory 21-day period in any given tier and can only move onto a new tier when they’ve qualified for the new tier for a minimum of two weeks. - August 25, 2020 – Guidance for Small Cohorts/Groups of Children and Youth

Elk Grove Community COVID-19 Testing Center
Location: 9362 Studio Court, Elk Grove, CA 95758
Days: Tuesday through Saturday
Times: 7am – 7pm
To make an appointment, patients will need to complete an online registration process, which will require them to answer a handful of screening questions and create a username and password (about a 10-15 minute process).
People will need to make appointments in advance and if they show up without one, I believe they’ll be instructed to make one on their phone. There are no age restrictions as long as the test can be safely performed. More details and other information on the testing process are available in these FAQs.
