New Tenderloin Walk-Thru Mobile Testing Site Opens (May 20-24)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The City is collaborating with Verily to operate a mobile COVID-19 testing site, which is the first mobile testing site in San Francisco. The site will begin offering walk-through COVID-19 testing in the Tenderloin on Wednesday, May 20.

It will initially operate at the Tenderloin Recreational Center, after which it will move to another high-need neighborhood.

Tenderloin Pop-up Testing Site:

Tenderloin Recreational Center, 570 Ellis Street

• Wednesday, May 20 to Sunday May 24, 10am-4pm
• Thursday, May 28 to Monday June 1, 10am-4pm

Call 311 or book at sf.gov. Appointments preferred, but not necessary.

The mobile testing site has the capacity to conduct several hundred tests per day. Online appointments are strongly encouraged; however, staff from GLIDE and Code Tenderloin will be onsite to register individuals who have barriers to registering online. GLIDE and Code Tenderloin will help create a familiar and welcoming presence at the testing site.

Verily’s Baseline COVID-19 Program provides a connected solution to support individuals from screening through testing and receipt of their test results. Verily developed The Baseline COVID-19 Program working closely with state and local government health authorities and other private health organizations to expand access to COVID-19 screening and testing in areas with a high volume of known cases. To date, the platform has supported the testing of over 100,000 people nationally.

For each deployment of the mobile testing site, the City and Verily will collaborate with trusted community organizations, to help raise awareness about the site and connect people to other services. While the mobile site is located in the Tenderloin, the City will be working with GLIDE and Code Tenderloin to conduct community outreach about the site and ensure the site remains safe and accessible for everyone in the neighborhood.
