The State of California and OptumServe have moved a testing location from Indio and is operating it now out of the Palm Springs Convention Center. Beginning Monday, December 14, testing at this location will be available Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Appointments are preferred and can be made online at https://gettested.ruhealth.org. This relocation does not affect the county-run testing site at the Riverside County Fairgrounds in Indio, which will continue to conduct testing.
The Palm Springs Convention Center address is 277 N. Avenida Caballeros, Palm Springs. All residents are encouraged to get tested. Testing helps contain the spread of coronavirus by isolating those who are COVID-positive so they can recover without passing the virus to others. Testing is for everyone, regardless of immigration status, insurance, or whether one has symptoms or not. There is no charge to the individual.
