Santa Clara County Officials Promote Improved COVID Test | KCBS 740 p

It was an educational process, but Santa Clara County officials say things have improved a lot when it comes to testing for the Coronavirus.

One of the province’s latest initiatives to boost testing is a partnership with San Jose Earthquakes. The team gave Earthquakes-branded face masks the first 400 people to take a test at one of the county’s free test sites in eastern San Jose on Friday.

“We know that COVID-19 has disproportionately affected certain areas of the county and people in our community, and one of them is here on the East Side,” said Cindy Chavez, Santa Clara County Supervisor at the test site in Mt. Fun high school. “The postal code we are using now is 95127 and it has more residents who have tested positive for COVID than the cities of Cupertino, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Palo Alto and Saratoga combined.”

Jed Mettee, vice president of SJ Earthquakes, said the mask donation site was important to the team. “We have a lot of players from backgrounds in Mexico and Argentina, who are closely related to many community members on the eastern side.”

The driving test came as county officials say the tests are more readily available.

“I think we went from around 1,000 tests earlier in the spring, and now we’re going to maybe 6-7,000 tests per day on a good day,” said Dr. Marty Finsterschip, who is leading the county testing effort. “It’s much smoother as we learn as we move forward.”

The county has struggled to provide COVID-19 tests, and at times, patients at free test sites had to wait hours in line.

“We want to keep everyone safe and healthy,” said Mette. “We hope that we will soon be able to get back together, enjoy Earthquakes games, and enjoy other events together if we all follow the set instructions.”
