Placer County Public Health Director Dr. Aimee Sisson said on Insight earlier this month that local hospitals need a rapid test in order to get ahead of the coronavirus outbreak. A rapid test was approved by the FDA on Saturday.

We’ll chat with Dr. Sisson about the new test and how it will aid in flattening the COVID-19 curve. She’ll also update us on the confirmed coronavirus cases in her county.
