WHY IS TESTING IMPORTANT?
Although a positive or negative result may not change your immediate treatment, it is an important factor in determining your best course of care. Diagnostic testing is also an essential component for health care authorities to get a better sense of how this disease is spreading. Testing helps identify specific areas and groups with higher rates of infection. Understanding these patterns is important to protect the public’s health and continue safely reopening . The results may help guide containment strategies, prioritize actions and help researchers determine what is needed or effective.
CONTINUE SOCIAL DISTANCING

Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Stay home when you are sick . Cover your cough or sneeze with your elbow or clean tissue. Disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces including your electronic devices.
While waiting for your test results, continue to monitor your health and take steps to protect yourself and others. Next steps will depend on your situation. Please review the most up to date San Diego Public Health Orders.
