Orange County has partnered with Ambry Genetics on a program to provide 11,000 free at-home coronavirus testing kits to residents of Santa Ana and Anaheim — two cities that have been hit hard by the pandemic. The program will be expanded next month when 500,000 testing kits become available on a “rolling basis” for all of Orange County.
Anaheim or Santa Ana residents can visit oc.care.ambrygen.com to request a testing kit now. It will be mailed within 24-48 hours. Pick-up options are also available. The kits come with detailed instructions and results are made available online within one to three days after the lab receives the specimen.
