The Isla Vista Theater, a location previously used as a pop-up testing site by the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department, became a permanent testing location on Jan. 8. This site will be open from 12 to 5 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and testing will be walk-in only.Â
The testing incentive program is currently being funded by the money S.E.A.L and Civic and Community Engagement allocated for Isla Vista initiatives and by $600 from the I.V. CSDâs COVID-19 community education funds.
