Elle Sez: Walking the Walk-CERT Work in Upland, California
We’ve all been hearing about the testing that’s been occurring in the United States. Well, it finally made to Upland. We had our first testing the day after Memorial day and 424 people, both drive-throughs with appointments and walk-ins with no appointments got tested. They used the throat swab method.
Everything worked very smoothly. We were only open from 10 in the morning till two in the afternoon so we were working pretty hard during that time. CERT was mostly involved in traffic control, there was no medical contact.
So here we are in our CERT uniforms at the Covid drive-through testing site. It was from ten until two and we saw about 600 people. We were the traffic control people so we were distanced from the cars and were in absolutely no danger.
The ladies on the right side of the second photo that are under the pop-up our county employees. But their usual jobs are as librarians. They said there were “volu-told” to do this job if they wanted a paycheck.
