BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Local officials are working to make COVID-19 testing available to one of the county’s most underserved populations — farmworkers.
Supervisor David Couch teamed up with the California Farmworker Foundation and Good Samaritan Hospital to bring a mobile testing clinic to certain areas across Kern County.
On Tuesday, it will offer free testing in Delano at 9 a.m., then the clinic moves to Lamont on Wednesday and McFarland on Thursday.
Each week, officials will decide on a new schedule for testing.
