The Isla Vista Theater, a location previously used as a pop-up testing site by the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, became a permanent testing location on Jan. 8. This site will be open from 12 to 5 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and testing will be walk-in only.Â
The testing incentive program is currently being funded by the money S.E.A.L and Civic and Community Engagement allocated for Isla Vista initiatives and by $600 from the I.V. CSDâs COVID-19 community education funds.

The Isla Vista Theater (I.V. Theater) is one of two new testing centers that the Santa Barbara Public Health Department has made available to the public. The other new site is located at the Santa Maria Health Care Center, which is open Tuesday through Friday, from 10 a.m to 12 p.m., and from 1 to 3 p.m.Â
Because the location of the testing site isn’t stationary, greater coverage is provided by the unit, as it can be moved based on the current distribution of COVID-19 cases at the time.
