Pima County's Free COVID-19 Testing Program Resumes For Now

Tucson Mayor Regina Romero said the city provided $9 million for testing throughout Tucson and Pima County, but the CARES Act funds they come through expire at the end of February. If the state’s efforts don’t provide adequate funds to continue the county’s testing program, the mayor said a second option should be ready, including having the state take over the county’s testing contracts.
“We on the mayor and council side want to support your efforts in Pima County. Understand that you have the public health experts to be able to guide us and give mayor and council and the community input as to what's the plan B for testing if there's no support by the state of Arizona,” Romero said. “Maybe what we have to do is find a less expensive way and then leave it up to the state to pick up the testing sites that we currently have. Then maybe the state could find a less expensive way to do the necessary testing.”
