![]() Redwood Coast Medical Services (RCMS) is pleased to announce that, in collaboration with the Mendocino County Health Department and the UCSF Lab, we will be performing another free COVID19 drive-through screening event in our community. This screening is for ASYMPTOMATIC people (those without symptoms). Gualala Sunday, September 27, 2020 9:00 am to Noon or until swabs run out RCMS Gualala Clinic Upper Parking Lot, 46900 Ocean Drive, Gualala Logistics: Please enter the screening from Highway 1 via Church Street. You will exit via Ocean Drive Who Can be Screened:
Procedure: You will be screened in your car. If you walk in, we will have chairs where you can sit to be screened. If there is more than one person in your car, you will be asked to briefly step out of your car for screening. This is done so that you do not contaminate others in the car while screened. While we do our best to respect your privacy, this is a public/outside event, and we cannot guarantee privacy during your screening. Results: Your results are reported by UCSF to the Mendocino Health Department and you. If you test positive, you will receive a phone call – generally within the first few days after testing. If you test negative, you will NOT receive a phone call. If you get no phone call by Monday October 5, you are a presumptive NEGATIVE. Please note that RCMS does NOT receive the results of this screening. Therefore, please contact RCMS if you test positive so that we can take care of you! It is not possible to provide you with paperwork that proves you were screened if you test negative. Why Get Tested: Please be aware that COVID19 is on the rise in Mendocino and Sonoma Counties. Testing events such as this allow us to locate and isolate/quarantine asymptomatic positive cases and their contacts, and is ultimately very protective of the community. It also allows the Health Department to monitor the prevalence of the infection in our community. Thank you for getting screened! Thank you to our community and medical volunteers who assist at these events. We appreciate you. ![]() Redwood Coast Medical Services (RCMS) se complace en anunciar que, en colaboración con el Departamento de Salud del Condado de Mendocino y el Laboratorio de UCSF, realizaremos otro evento de detección de COVID19 gratuito en nuestra comunidad. Este examen es para personas ASINTOMÁTICAS (aquellas que no presentan síntomas).

NO entre través de Ocean Drive. Saldrá por Ocean Drive. Quien puede ser examinado:
Número de pruebas disponibles: Un total de 150 pruebas estarán disponibles. Todos las pruebas se realizan por orden de llegada. Procedimiento: Será examinado en su automóvil. Si entra, tendremos sillas donde puede sentarse para que lo revisen. Si hay más de una persona en su automóvil, se le pedirá que salga brevemente de su automóvil para su prueba. Esto se hace para que no contamine a otras personas en el automóvil mientras está revisado. Si bien hacemos todo lo posible por respetar su privacidad, este es un evento público / externo, y no podemos garantizar la privacidad durante su prueba. Resultados: UCSF informa sus resultados al Departamento de Salud de Mendocino y a usted. Si la prueba es positiva, recibirá una llamada telefónica, generalmente dentro de los primeros días después de la prueba. Si la prueba es negativa, NO recibirá una llamada telefónica. Si no recibe ninguna llamada telefónica antes del lunes 5 de octubre, es un presunto NEGATIVO. Tenga en cuenta que RCMS NO recibe los resultados de esta evaluación. Por lo tanto, comuníquese con RCMS si obtiene un resultado positivo para que podamos atenderlo. No es posible proporcionarle documentación que demuestre que fue examinado si la prueba es negativa. Por qué hacerse la prueba: tenga en cuenta que COVID19 está aumentando en los condados de Mendocino y Sonoma. Pruebas de eventos como este nos permiten localizar y aislar / poner en cuarentena casos positivos asintomáticos y sus contactos, y en última instancia, es muy protector de la comunidad. También le permite al Departamento de Salud monitorear la prevalencia de la infección en nuestra comunidad. ¡Gracias por hacerse la prueba!
