Yolo County opened its first “test to treat” site in Woodland.
Located at the OptumServe testing site at 2780 E Gibson Rd., next to the Juvenile Detention Facility, the test-to-treat program enables residents to take a rapid test for COVID-19 and, if positive, to receive a prescription for antiviral pills if medically appropriate.
Oral COVID-19 medications must be taken within five days of the initial onset of symptoms to help prevent severe illness and hospitalization.
The OptumServe site will be open Thursdays through Sundays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
