WATSONVILLE, CA — Santa Cruz County has partnered with the county's Office of Education in moving the South County's Inspire Diagnostics COVID-19 testing site to the county fairgrounds due to overwhelming testing demand.
According to a county spokesperson, the move to the fairgrounds will now make the testing site available to all community members.
"The COE has provided our community a great service in providing testing options for our school staff, students and their families," said Dr. Cal Gordon, Santa Cruz County Deputy Health Officer. "We are excited to partner with the COE to expand testing to the greater community."
