BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Kevin McCarthy announced on Wednesday that Human Health Services has approved surge testing capacity in Bakersfield.
Starting as soon as possible, a lot more tests can be administered at no cost.
Kern County last week was placed on the state monitoring list citing the number of COVID-19 cases occurring daily, while testing locations and materials have been spread thin.
BREAKING NEWS —> @HHSgov has just approved surge testing capacity in Bakersfield. That means we’ll be able to ramp up a lot more testing at no cost—starting almost immediately.

It worked in Jacksonville, and I’m glad to work with the Trump Admin to bring results to my hometown.
