Gov. Ducey announces COVID-19 testing blitz in Arizona
PHOENIX - Gov. Doug Ducey announced a testing blitz for COVID-19 across Arizona.
The Arizona Department of Health Services has partnered up with healthcare providers across the state for an effort called Arizona Testing Blitz, with a goal of testing 10,000 to 20,000 Arizonans for COVID-19, every Saturday, starting on May 2.
The testing blitz has been extended to May 30.
"We know that rapidly identifying cases, conducting case follow-up, and performing contact tracing will help slow the transmission of COVID-19 in our communities,” said AZDHS Director Dr. Cara Christ, in the statement.
According to the statement, testing sites across the state will provide drive-thru or onsite testing as part of the blitz. Tests will be available for anyone who thinks they have been exposed to and could be infected with COVID-19 and will be based on criteria set by each testing site.
State officials say various groups including Banner Health and Walgreens, are taking part in the testing blitz.

- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
