On October 11, 2023, the Health Officer issued Health Order Number 2023-03 (Health Order) which establishes safety requirements for private operations that collect and handle clinical specimens for infectious disease testing, such as COVID-19 tests. This Health Order applies to “Specimen Collection Sites” which do not have an on-site clinical laboratory. For example, COVID-19 “pop-up” sites appearing on City streets that are only collecting and handling clinical specimens and sending them off-site for testing are considered “Specimen Collection Sites.”
