Kern County Public Health Services Department

Coronavirus testing is a vital resource to help slow the spread of the virus, as well as help the county move out of the state’s most restrictive purple tier when the Governor lifts the statewide “emergency brake.”

Residents can find COVID-19 test locations and days of operation throughout the county by utilizing an interactive testing map on our website: https://phweb.kerncounty.com/Html5Viewer/index.html?viewer=COVID19TestingSites.

Beginning November 30, any person who gets a COVID-19 test at one of the testing sites below is eligible for a $25 VISA gift card:

• Wasco Library - 1102 7th Street, Wasco

Rosamond Library - 3611 W. Rosamond Blvd., Rosamond

• Lamont Library - 8304 Segrue Road, Lamont

Mobile test sites with NO GIFT CARD opportunity:
