As Omicron continues to surge in California, so does accessibility to at-home COVID-19 testing. San Bernardino County residents can get tested locally at the Joshua Tree Community Center on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Due to an increased demand in COVID-19 testing, appointments are highly recommended. Walk-ins will experience longer wait times and are accepted until 1 hour before closing.
Additionally, all County-operated testing sites now provide free over-the-counter (OTC) antigen test kits to individuals who live or work in San Bernardino County (proof of residency or employment required). OTC antigen test kits offer results in as little as 10 minutes. Each kit contains two tests. There is a limit of one test kit per person, available while supplies last.

The City of Twentynine Palms has also announced that residents can now get OTC tests from New Pharmacy, located at 72724 Twentynine Palms Highway in Twentynine Palms, for free, while supplies last. There is a limit of one kit per household, and you must provide proof of residency in Twentynine Palms. For questions, contact City Hall at 760-367-6799.
