Thankful this is happening. I was denied a test by Sutter even though I had symptoms (fatigue, sore throat, cough). They told me over the phone that they wouldn't test me unless I had vomiting or diarrhea which are not even common symptoms of Covid. I had to go find a test from elsewhere. Very frustrating

Technically required since mid June? Wow! Good reporting Kevin, many of us didn't know. Our County Supervisor Simitian is FinallyGettingIT! When the low income area around the center of our city had a ONE DAY testing opening, this area ("essential workers" & low income) had many turned away, according to Voice reporting, many of our MV residents need "walk-up" testing access.
$5,000 fine per incident? Good. Sutter, El Camino and Kaiser need to get on the ball. [Science; I wish the county had explicitly called out the 'criteria' and had a checklist. Put in 'extra questions? Get a $5,000 fine per test requester!]
