A person who has had a couple of covid tests, the kids are not going to be very happy about it. Testing is really such a critical part of californias reopening plan along with strict mask requirements, social distancing and limited capacity for businesses.

Even better news overall for the bay area we have here the lowest coronavirus risk of any major Population Center in the state according to the mercury news. However, Sonoma County is struggling with its covid spike especially in the latino communities and now supervisors are considering a 16 million Public Health strategy to broaden test availability and provide incentives for testing.
