COVID-19 Surveillance Testing for Employees
The Mollison Complex is now closed. Those County health care workers have been deployed to vaccination sites instead. Please visit other San Diego County Office of Public Health sites for testing or contact your own healthcare providers for more information.

Last name A-E: test between January 11 and January 22, 2021
Last name F-L: test between January 25 and February 5, 2021

Last name S-Z: test between February 22 and March 8, 2021
What is surveillance testing?
Surveillance testing, also known as routine testing, involves testing people on a regular basis to identify individuals who may be carrying the virus yet be asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic.
The purpose of surveillance tests is to monitor the current state of the epidemic and slow the spread of the virus through early identification. It is used to monitor things like whether the COVID-19 virus is moving into new areas, whether it is affecting some groups of people more than other groups of people, or whether the number of cases is going up or going down.
Who should be tested and how often?
School and district staff members are essential workers who may have contact with students or other staff. According to the California Department of Public Health, school districts and schools shall test staff periodically, as testing capacity permits and as practicable, with the recommendation being to test all staff over the course of two months on a rotating basis, where 25% of staff are tested every two weeks.
Where do I go for testing?
GUHSD has access to a designated COVID-19 testing site for East County School Employees only at our very own Mollison Complex, located at 301 N. Mollison Ave. At this time reservations are not available. Hours are 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM. Follow the signs to the portables closest to Mollison Ave. Bring your school or district ID badge and your smartphone (not required) for ease of registration.
The San Diego County Office of Education has established additional surveillance testing sites specifically to serve school employees. A list of these sites can be found here.
School employees may also be tested at any of the county’s public testing sites, which can be found here.
What do I do with my results?
Test results should be submitted to COVIDtestresults@guhsd.net as soon as you receive them. Test results are highly confidential, and access to them are limited to HR leadership. Should your results record positive, please stay home and notify your principal/supervisor immediately.
If any staff member chooses to make arrangements for their own testing through their healthcare provider, the County of San Diego, or any other testing location, the staff member must submit their results to COVIDtestresults@guhsd.net as soon as they are received.
