Covid-19 Testing Expanded in Alameda County

Two of the sites, the REACH Ashland Youth Center at 16335 E. 14th St. in unincorporated Ashland area of the county and the Alameda County building at 224 West Winton Avenue in Hayward will be run in partnership with OptumServe Federal Health Services. The REACH Youth Center site opened Monday while the county building will open later this week; both testing sites will offer walk-up testing by appointment only. 

The other new testing sites, both located in East Oakland, are launching through a partnership between the city of Oakland, the Community Organized Relief Effort nonprofit and Verily Life Sciences.

Appointments at OptumServe testing sites can be made online at lhi.care/covidtesting while appointments for the Roots Community Health Center and the Allen Temple Baptist Church can be made at rootsclinic.org/covid-19-testing and projectbaseline.com/study/covid-19, respectively.

A full list of coronavirus testing sites in Alameda County, including the Hayward Fire Department's free, driver through testing center located at Cal State East Bay (in the photo), can be found at acphd.org/2019-ncov/testing.aspx.

The state also created a website where residents can enter a ZIP code, city or address and find nearby coronavirus testing sites, including many where they can get tested for free.
