Contra Costa County Entering New Phase of COVID-19 Response
Two COVID-19 testing sites sunset Sept. 30 as community options abound

El Condado de Contra Costa entra a una nueva fase de respuesta contra el COVID-19

Sept. 26, 2022: Friday, Sept. 30 will be the last day of operations at the County’s two COVID-19 testing sites located in Richmond and San Ramon, which have been providing free testing to the community for more than two years during the pandemic.

​

In recent months, usage of these two sites has dropped considerably as more people use home tests or get tested at pharmacies or through their doctor.

​

Although the County testing sites will sunset, people can also still get tested through their regular healthcare providers, state testing sites, pharmacies or by purchasing over-the-counter home test kits. Private healthcare insurance and Medi-Cal will reimburse people or pay for up to 8 at-home tests a month.

​

Free home-test kits are also available to residents at the County’s 26 library branches and at our three COVID-19 vaccination sites in Richmond, Concord and Antioch, which remain open.
