“We are having great results and seeing a good number of people being tested,” Jay Tamsi, co-founder says. “We need to ensure that the Latino population is being tested, self-isolating at home when needed to stop the spread of COVID-19. This is a very serious matter for Kern County’s economic state and the physical and mental health of our Latino Community. The more access we can provide the community, the stronger and healthier we will be.”
