Santa Clara County, CA – County of Santa Clara Valley Medical Center operated COVID-19 testing sites can now provide automated results via text message – often as soon as the day after the test is administered.
“Quick turnaround time is crucial to the role of testing in COVID-19 response,” said Dr. Marty Fenstersheib, COVID-19 Testing Officer for the County of Santa Clara. “The faster someone is made aware of a positive result, the faster their contacts can be told to quarantine to prevent further spread of the disease. We are very excited about our new partnership with Healthvana that allows rapid, automated results delivery, typically within 1-2 days after the appointment.”
