Coronavirus Testing Site To Move From Indian Wells To Fairgrounds, next week.

The current site at the Southwest Church has been operating since March 17. Health care workers there handled more than 420 tests through Friday, and expected to conduct roughly 160 more tests on Saturday based on the scheduled appointments, according to county public health spokesman Jose Arballo.

The testing schedule will remain the same after the move: Tuesdays through Saturdays, “until supplies are exhausted or the community’s needs have been met,” Arballo said.

Area residents can be screened for symptoms and, if deemed eligible, can schedule an appointment to be tested by calling the toll-free number 800- 945-6171.

Testing will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in parking lots 5 and 5A off of Arabia Street, between Highway 111 and Doctor Carreon Boulevard.
