The new super site, a joint venture between the City of Costa Mesa, the County of Orange and 360 Clinic, is the second largest in the state next to Dodger Stadium and will be open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is expected to test 500 people a day in the first week. Tests will be available by appointment only at https://occovid19.ochealthinfo.com/supersite and for individuals prioritized for testing by the California Department of Public Health:
• Essential workers (grocery store, food supply, utility workers, public employees and teachers)
There will be an express lane for first responders at the super site.
The public can enter the Fairgrounds through Gate 4 and a traffic plan has been put in place with electronic signs at the 55 Freeway Fair Drive exit as well as at the corners of Fair Drive and Fairview Avenue and at the corner of Fairview and Arlington to guide those entering the fairgrounds testing site.
