According to an I-Team analysis of public records, PerkinElmer was charging around $55 per PCR COVID test - not the $30 that was originally promised.

COVID cases throughout the Bay Area have been increasing for the past two weeks with the majority of the region in the red.

Six months following that report, the ABC7 News I-Team confirmed Color Health is in line to take over a new role to provide COVID-19 testing - but it will be different. "The state will continue to offer testing capacity to local health jurisdictions in the same manner that it has prior to the Valencia Branch Lab closure," CDPH wrote in a statement released to the I-Team."The only change will be PCR testing capacity will be provided through a network of partners rather than the state's Valencia Branch lab.
