Testing capacity expanded in Marin County
A key component of Marin Public Health’s surveillance program is tracking confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Marin County. Testing makes that possible. Testing is available by physician referral for individuals who are experiencing symptoms, whether mild or severe. Our local testing capacity is increasing as designated urgent care centers are now supporting testing.
