SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) UCSF and the Latino Task Force launched a new rapid COVID-19 test site and research campaign on Sunday that will provide food and financial assistance to those who qualify after testing positive for coronavirus. This site will be 5 days a week and we are scaling up the rapid test and response services, said Dr. Carina Marquez, Infectious Disease specialist at UCSF.
On Sunday, more than 600 people got tested at the rapid test site located in San Francisco s 24th street Bart station. Key part of this is that it s fast. People are only really infectious for 10 days and so we want to get to people and help support them to isolate, said Dr. Carina Marquez, Infectious Disease specialist at UCSF.
