The City of Greenfield announced on Monday, April 27 that they will be putting on a pilot program to provide free COVID-19 antibody testing to first responders and other City Staff on Wednesday, April 29 from 8 am to 3 pm near the Greenfield Union School District Office off of El Camino Real. Greenfield Mayor Lance Walker said that the city was approached by the CEO of CERESLabs, a cannabis analytical testing lab about having the antibody testing done. They will be partnering up with ARCpoint Labs in Monterey. In addition, volunteers from numerous local cannabis businesses are expected to assist such as Loudpack, Indus, River View Farms, Pacific Reserve and Higher Level. Blood draw tests will be administered by ARCpoint Labs and analyzed by Diazme Laboratories. Mayor Walker is hoping to get more cities in South Monterey County involved with this COVID-19 testing at a later date if this pilot program on April 29 is successful.
