COVID-19 Testing, Tracing, and Support Services

Updates from the County of Santa Clara

County Health Officer Tightens Requirements for Large Healthcare Companies: Today, County Public Health Officer Dr. Sara Cody issued revisions to the County's June 10, 2020 Healthcare Provider Testing Order, tightening requirements on large healthcare providers to ensure testing is more easily available and without delays to all residents of Santa Clara County. Elected officials from across Santa Clara County, including San José Mayor Sam Liccardo, are calling upon large healthcare providers to comply with the revised testing order. The Order is a legal requirement for large healthcare providers such as Kaiser Permanente, HCA Healthcare, Sutter Palo Alto Medical Foundation, and other private hospitals in Santa Clara County, which are subject to fines for noncompliance. Details are in the revised testing order on the County's website.
