Starting next month, COVID-19 testing at the Alameda County Fairgrounds will be relocated and consolidated with Stanford Health Care-ValleyCare in Livermore, freeing up staff and resources for administering COVID-19 vaccines at the fairgrounds.
Due to the recent drop in demand for COVID-19 testing, the hospital will move from its testing operations at the fairgrounds in Pleasanton to an existing drive-thru testing site at 1111 E. Stanley Blvd. in Livermore on April 1.
The COVID-19 vaccine site at the fairgrounds will remain in place.
Since opening in April 2020, the testing site at the fairgrounds administered nearly 32,000 COVID-19 tests, averaging 200 tests per day during peak months.
A doctor’s order is not required to be tested at the Livermore site, and all insurances are accepted and billed. Cash pay fees will also be waived.
Patients must be 10 year or older to receive testing. Results may take up to 72 hours but can be received sooner. A phone number or email address is also needed for patients to receive results and follow-up information.
Appointments are preferred but same-day testing without an appointment is also available by calling 734-3376.
The Stanford-ValleyCare COVID-19 testing site in Livermore is located at 1111 E. Stanley Blvd. Operating hours are Mondays through Fridays, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon.
