Apple Maps Now Displays COVID-19 Testing Sites

Apple Maps on iOS and iPadOS now displays COVID-19 testing sites throughout the United States.

Here in my part of the Bay Area it seems to be exactly the other way around. Maps shows public testing facilities at two large local hospitals, but there is no mention of a private clinic right next door in Richmond offering tests to anybody willing to pay for it out of pocket.

6 days later and Apple Map’s doesn’t show county and state health department operated drive through testing locations… it seems Apple is slow on the updates or more these entities don’t share that data in an accessible form themselves. Reporting the issue doesn’t seem possible in the app as it treats the location as a dropped pin so you can’t report an issue.
