Oceanside Among COVID-19 Testing Sites Getting National Guard Help

OCEANSIDE, CA —The recent surge in COVID-19 cases has prompted Governor Gavin Newsom to activate the California National Guard to support testing facilities.

“California has led the country’s fight against COVID-19, implementing first-in-the-nation public health measures that have helped save tens of thousands of lives,” said Governor Newsom. “We continue to support communities in their response to COVID by bolstering testing capacity.”

In San Diego County there are six testing sites that are receiving assistance from the National Guard including one location in Oceanside:
