Coronavirus Testing In Napa County

As of Friday morning, test results were pending for 124 Napa County patients. A total of 703 COVID-19 tests have been conducted in Napa County, with some patients tested more than once early in the outbreak, according to Napa County's coronavirus information page. Of tests administered, results were negative for 547.

The county's Public Health division is running a drive-through testing clinic by appointment only and has administered 216 of those tests.

The county says the remainder of tests have been performed at hospitals, by health care providers and at other medical facilities.

According to information posted Tuesday to the county's website, here is how Public Health determines who gets tested:

"Public Health’s testing for COVID-19 focuses on people [who] are at higher risk for more severe disease, people who are contacts to confirmed cases, and people who are uninsured or underinsured. More testing is now being offered directly through healthcare providers, although there is still a nationwide shortage of testing kits.
"In order to be tested through Public Health, people with fever and respiratory symptoms must have an order for lab testing placed through their doctor’s office. This means that the doctor will use a screening form to determine if COVID-19 testing is indicated. People who are symptomatic and from groups that are at higher risk for more severe disease—such as patients over 65 years of age with underlying conditions—will be considered for testing. In addition, Public Health will also begin accepting referrals to test people who are uninsured or underinsured.
If a test is ordered and it is approved by Public Health using the criteria mentioned above, the patient will then be contacted by Public Health and given instructions on how to obtain a test at the drive-through clinic. The drive-through clinic is currently by appointment only."
