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 13, 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:
  • This event is open to anyone who is temporarily or permanently residing in Sonoma or Mendocino County and can provide a physical address from one of these counties.
  • This screening is for asymptomatic people without COVID19 symptoms. (i.e. no fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, loss of taste/smell, vomiting/diarrhea.) 
  • If you have symptoms, do not come to this event, instead, please call RCMS at 707-884-4005 for medical evaluation and care.

Number of Tests Available:
A total of 150 tests will be available. All screening is done on a first come, first served basis. 
 
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 Sept 21, 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.
