As COVID-19 testing facilities across the state face ongoing
backlogs, California public health officials adopted new guidance
this week to help counties decide who should get test results

results within a day, but other Californians -- especially those
who aren't symptomatic or aren't essential workers -- may continue
to experience wait times of a week or longer. We'll talk when and
how you should get tested and about the public health impact of
slow test turnaround times. And we want to hear from you: If you've
been tested, what was the experience like?
