COVID-19
Call to Action!
November 12, 2020
We need your help to avoid reverting back to the Purple Tier.

Ventura County is on a path to move back to the Purple Tier. Your actions this week could delay us from moving backwards into the Purple Tier:

  • Please get tested.
  • Please don't gather.
  • Please wash your hands and use hand sanitizer.
  • Please wear masks around others.
  • Please practice physical distancing.

Ventura County Public Health is urging everyone to get tested,
and recommends getting tested every two weeks.
WHY DOES TESTING MATTER?

Because Ventura County gets a favorable adjustment factor if we have a high testing volume. Another important factor is our positivity rate. Our positivity rate will be even lower if we continue to test more people; more negative tests will help lower our overall positivity rate. 
ANTIBODY TESTING

Free COVID-19 IgG antibody tests will be offered at more than a dozen sites throughout Ventura County between November 9th- 20th.

IgG antibody tests indicate whether an individual has been exposed to COVID-19 and developed antibodies. A blood sample is taken and later tested at a lab. Testing is free, open to the general public, no appointment is necessary, and will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. No I.D. is required, and test results are private and HIPAA compliant. Results will be available to the test participant within 24-48 hours online or by smartphone.

The study is designed to specifically learn: What is the prevalence of COVID-19 antibodies among the general population of Ventura County? What is the difference in prevalence among segments of the population who are highly exposed or highly vulnerable? How do antibody levels change over time in individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies? And what is the false-positive rate of the specific antibody tests used in the County?

For more information, visit www.VenturaCountyRecovers.org/antibody or call the office of Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin: (805) 482-1904.
