To the Fairfax County Community,
We recognize that there are concerns about the national shortage of tests available for residents. Fairfax County is working with our trusted community partner, Inova, to maximize the health care services available for our community during the evolving COVID-19 situation.
Inova has contracted with multiple commercial labs to provide increased testing to patients when they meet the testing criteria. They are also pursuing additional options to provide in house testing capabilities in the coming weeks.
We collectively have an enormous responsibility to ensure our community remains prepared during this COVID-19 pandemic. We are working closely with our regional health care partners to accommodate additional capacity, should the need arise.
There is a lot of new information below, so please read carefully. If you have a friend who would like to sign up for this newsletter, they can do so here.
