The location is thought to be the closest testing location to the U.S.-Mexico border in any state
Later this week, a COVID-19 testing site will open up just outside a pedestrian crossing in San Ysidro, where tens of thousands of people enter the United States from Mexico every day.
San Diego County has a higher case rate, with nearly 32,000 cases among about 3.3 million residents, but also tests at a much higher rate than its sister state to the south. It can be difficult for these employees to find time to get tested, county officials said, even though many are at greater risk of contracting COVID-19. Although Customs and Border Protection officials watch for symptoms of the virus, referring travelers who appear sick to health authorities, the federal agency doesn’t perform testing of its own.
