A COVID-19 rapid testing site is now open in Lompoc. Thursday was the first day people were able to get tested for free and receive their results within minutes.
Many of the residents who decided to show up to the free testing site said they went because they needed to know their results before they get together with family for the holidays.
"It's great because you cannot wait 3-5 days for the results, especially if you have to work or have family gatherings. Even though it's family, you just don't want it to spread, just to make sure we don't have COVID,â Lompoc resident Ricardo Garay said.
