CityHealth Urgent Care Partners With Sacramento International Airport to Offer COVID-19 Testing

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CityHealth Urgent Care and Sacramento International Airport (SMF) today announced a partnership to provide Molecular PCR COVID-19 tests to travelers flying out of Sacramento International Airport. 

"We're very pleased to be partnering with Sacramento International Airport to offer this testing. We see this as a great way to keep more people safe and control the spread of this virus," said Sean Parkin, CEO of CityHealth. 

The testing site will open on Wednesday, Dec. 16, and will be located in the Taxi Parking Lot (between the AMPM and the East Economy Lot) at Sacramento International Airport, 5680 Crossfield Drive, Sacramento, CA. 

"Partnering with CityHealth to provide convenient no-cost COVID-19 testing for passengers, airport employees and community members is another layer of health safety for those traveling through SMF and the Sacramento community," says Airport Director Cindy Nichol. 

The Molecular PCR test is the most reliable COVID-19 test available, returning results with over 99% accuracy.

Appointments are required for testing at Sacramento International Airport. The test is offered free of charge, and insurance is not required. 

Those traveling to Hawaii will need to pay a $20 documentation fee to satisfy Hawaii's Safe Travel regulations, which require proof of a negative COVID-19 test from a Trusted Travel Partner. 

Lab results are returned within 48 hours, so those wishing to travel should schedule a test as early as possible within 72 hours before they plan to depart.
