People who may be infected with the novel coronavirus can be tested at a drive-up cabana set up Friday at Scripps Health in La Jolla, while a tent set up outside an emergency room in Encinitas is performing triage on patients showing symptoms of COVID-19.

Scripps Health also has established a dedicated phone line, (888) 261-8431, for people to call to speak with nurses if they suspect they may be infected. People are asked to call the number before going to any Scripps facility, and only people referred by the nurses can receive the drive-up testing.

The phone line is open 7 a.m. - 9 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. on weekends.
