IRVINE, Calif.—Orange County, California, is set to become the first county in the nation to offer free COVID-19 saliva tests to its residents, says Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do.

The announcement came Nov. 17, less than two weeks before Thanksgiving kicks off the winter holidays, and a day after California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that Orange County had fallen into the most restrictive COVID-19 tier.
