Who will be performing Zika lab testing?

CDC and eventually, CDPH VRDL will conduct Zika lab testing. Specimens will get picked up from QVMC by the courier for the Napa Solano Yolo Marin Public Health Lab (NYSMPHL), and these will be routed to CDPH and then to CDC. Please call NSYMPHL at 707-784-4410 when the specimen is ready. The courier is in Napa around 11 a.m. every day. Specimens should stay refrigerated until pickup.
