In Tijuana, Baja’s State University (UABC) has opened an on-campus COVID-19 testing site on their ca. Free tests are available for medical workers and students from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. Appointments are necessary and may be scheduled by phone at (664) 979-7577.

A testing site has opened on the patio of the Mexican Consulate General in San Diego. The site operates each Monday from 8:30am to 3:30pm and offers free tests for all interested individuals. No appointments are necessary.

A private sector-led initiative was launched last month comprised of 17 laboratories in Tijuana with the ability to conduct up to 500 COVID-19 tests onsite at a discounted rate. In some cases, businesses are covering the cost for their employees. Results are available within 24 hours and submitted into a database which maps positive results. The effort also helps identify vulnerable neighborhoods and areas across the region, which will help their strategy to combat the virus.
