Santa Clara County Revises Testing Order to Increase COVID-19 Testing

Today, Elected Officials from across Santa Clara County announced revisions to the Testing Order to call upon large healthcare providers to increase COVID-19 Testing. The new order tightens testing requirements, ensures testing is more easily available and without delays, and provides better access to COVID-19 testing for the community. The Order is a legal requirement for large healthcare providers such as Kaiser Permanente, HCA Healthcare, Sutter Palo Alto Medical Foundation, and other private hospitals in Santa Clara County, which are subject to fines for noncompliance.
