Medical personnel from Riverside (CA) University Health Systems hospitals administer a Coronavirus Test to an individual during drive-through testing in the parking lot of Diamond Stadium, March 22, 2020 in Lake Elsinore, California.
Riverside County residents now have the option to make appointments online to be screened for coronavirus at county-operated testing sites.
According to the county Executive Office, appointments are available by going to www.rivcoph.org/coronavirus/testing. Once there, visitors can select a site, as well as a day and time.
Making appointments in advance previously required phone calls for the most part, and appointments can still be made via phone at 800-945-6171. The best time to call is between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m., according to county officials.
There are 14 testing locations available.
According to the Riverside University Health System, almost a quarter million residents have been screened for COVID-19 thus far.
