Updated COVID-19 Testing Hours
San Benito County, CA. Effective October 16, 2022, OptumServe COVID-19 PCR and Rapid Antigen testing and treatment services will be changing their hours of operation in San Benito County.
As COVID-19 test availability to the public increases and the number of active cases decreases in our county, OptumServe has been directed by the California Department of Public Health to change its availability to provide COVID-19 PCR and Rapid Antigen testing in San Benito County.
“Effective October 16, 2022, OptumServe will change their availability at their fixed location at 930 Sunset Drive, Building 2, Suite B, in Hollister from five days a week to three days a week due to decreased demand. The site will continue operating from 7:00 am-3:00 pm, but will operate on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday,” stated Nic Calvin, Deputy Director for San Benito Public Health Services.
OptumServe will continue to provide COVID-19 testing and treatment with their mobile clinic throughout the county from 10:00 am-6:00 pm (close 2-3 pm for lunch). The mobile locations are listed below.
