Alameda County will open another COVID-19 testing site Wednesday at the West Oakland Health Center located at 700 Adeline St.
The site will be open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and on Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The site will remain open for four weeks. Color and Carbon Health, two Bay Area companies, are working with county officials to open the testing site and say test results will be available 24 to 72 hours after taking the test.
Testing will be free to anyone with symptoms, and also to any health care, front line or essential worker, even if they have no symptoms. Insurance isn't required, and COVID-19 testers will not ask about immigration status.
After the new site opens, there will be 31 testing locations across the county, and health workers will be able to conduct 200 more tests per day. At least one testing site in Alameda County — at Allen Temple Baptist Church — is closed temporarily Tuesday.
The city of Oakland remains under curfew and requires residents to stay in their homes from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
