Please watch the quick video from Supervisor Janice Hahn and also review the email we received from the Beach Cities Health District.

Key points:

  1. Testing will be for people over 65 who have symptoms.

  2. Testing is “by appointment” – No walk-ups will be taken

  3. You must schedule an appointment – Instructions are noted below.

  4. Completely Safe, You stay in your car, results within 48 hours.

  5. Testing is scheduled to begin this Saturday (04/04/2020).

I’ll keep you updated as I learn more.

Please stay safe, keep practicing “Social Distancing” and we’ll get through this pandemic together.

COVID-19 Testing
 
There are two ways to get tested for COVID-19.
 
1) If a person develops symptoms of COVID-19 and has reason to believe they may have been exposed, they should call their health care provider or local health department before seeking care. If you don’t have a provider, call 2-1-1 for help finding a clinician near you.
2) The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) has established testing sites across LA County. Tests through LA County are free and strictly limited to residents of LA County who are in the most high-risk categories and most vulnerable.
 
LACDPH COVID-19 Testing at the South Bay Galleria
