In Coconino County there are 1,634-confirmed cases of COVID-19, up 32 from Thursday with 88-deaths and 1,011-recoveries. There are 12-people hospitalized.
Yavapi is such a large county it would be beneficial to have a further breakdown. I would like to know how many cases are in various communities. Also since a coworker tested positive I am needing to get tested. The first time I was sent to my regular doctor on the same day got my results back in two days with no co pay. This timevI have been on hold with several govt agencies and medical facitities and have been told it Could be days before I am able to get a
test and 2 weeks before I get results from the test and now that the “surge is over” there is a co pay. I was directed, by Spectrum to not have a co pay to go to CVS online to make an appontment for free testing but all of the appointment blocks were full and the entire process needs to be refilled out each time you are told the appointment is no longer availble. I am wondering if anyone has done a stories on the growing difficulties of getting tested? Why this time of huge growth is nit considered a surge? And if there are any resources to help seniors figure it all out. Thank you
