“We want to get as many San Bernardino County residents tested for COVID as possible,” said Jackie Combs, CEO of Morongo Basin Healthcare District. “It is our goal to get San Bernardino County downgraded to the less restrictive “red tier.” Currently, San Bernardino is designated in the more restrictive “purple tier” by the state of California, meaning more businesses are closed.
