New Peninsula Drive-Thru Coronavirus Testing Site Opens

DALY CITY, CA — Verily Life Sciences expanded COVID-19 coronavirus testing in San Mateo County on Wednesday, adding a drive-thru testing site in Daly City for North County residents.

San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa and officials with the Jefferson Union High School District worked with Verily, the life science research arm of Alphabet Inc., to make testing available at the site on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

"The best way to identify COVID-19 in our communities is to test for it. We know that we have some hotspots in north San Mateo County with higher concentrations of the disease," Canepa said. "The best way to put your mind at ease is to take the test."

Additional testing sites in San Mateo County run by Verily are located at the San Mateo County Event Center on Mondays and Tuesdays and at the Lewis and Joan Platt East Palo Alto Family YMCA on Fridays and Saturdays. All testing sites are open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Residents can make an appointment at any of Verily's testing sites through the company's Project Baseline website at projectbaseline.com/study/covid-19. People who are tested will receive their results via email. San Mateo County will also reach out to people who test positive for the virus.
