Arizona ranks 49th in COVID-19 testing, but, don't worry, there's going to be a "testing blitz"! [View all]

According to worldometer.info, Arizona ranks 49th out of 50 states (just ahead of Kansas) in the number of COVID-19 tests per 1M residents.

Finally confronting this, Gov. Ducey has announced a "testing blitz." (No, I'm not making the name up.) For the next three Saturdays, certain community health providers will be administering coronavirus testing.

If you're interested, here's a link to locations, times, etc.: https://www.azdhs.gov/preparedness/epidemiology-disease-control/infectious-disease-epidemiology/index.php#novel-coronavirus-testing-blitz

Note: It appears you'll need to register in advance, and the test will not be free; either you or your insurance will have to pay for it.
