“Where can I get a coronavirus test?” information from the SF Chronicle regarding available testing at 9 Carbon Health locations:

A doctor’s order is not needed, but Carbon Health strongly urges patients to first use the free online coronavirus risk assessment screening tool to assess their own risk before seeking a test. You do not have to be a Carbon Health patient to seek a test; any California resident can get one. It takes 3 to 6 days to get results.”
