New local drive-thru COVID-19 community testing site available
Published on February 07, 2022
Avellino, one of California’s largest COVID-19 test providers, has opened a new drive-thru COVID-19 testing site at its company headquarters in Menlo Park, to support the need for greater testing access due to shortages of home tests and long testing lines elsewhere.
The site uses the company’s AvellinoCoV2 PCR test, which is processed at the company’s high-capacity CLIA lab nearby and can run up to 30,000 tests per day. Its COVID-19 test has been shown to accurately detect all COVID-19 variants, including Omicron, as it focuses on the N protein (nucleocapsid protein), whose genetic sequence is less likely to mutate. Avellino has performed more than 2.5 million COVID tests to-date.
