Sonora, CA — In response to the uptick in COVID-19 cases, the free testing site at the Mother Lode Fairgrounds is now open seven days a week.

Up until today, it was only open five days a week, Tuesday through Saturday. The hours are 7am-7pm. The Tuolumne County Public Health Department notes that a plan is in development to start offering increased testing capacity at the site starting next week.

There were 67 new cases of COVID-19 in Tuolumne County on Tuesday and 35 more on Wednesday. The public health department did not release new figures yesterday on the Thanksgiving holiday.
