Testing Sites, Health Orders & Incident Report

The County of Los Angeles is regularly updating resources on COVID-19 and offers today’s update in an effort to keep you and yours informed. Please share the following up-to-date information:

LA County Testing Sites Going Live

As the County of Los Angeles increases its testing capability, we have begun partnering with cities across the county to develop a network of drive-up, mobile testing sites. We are also helping increase resources for local health centers who have begun testing for COVID-19, and are integrating them into our countywide network.

Currently, County-City partnerships have been established based on capacity and geographic locations. The following locations have started (or will soon begin) testing for COVID-19:

  • High Desert Medical Group (Lancaster) – As of 4/1
  • Glendale Memorial Hospital (Glendale) – As of 4/1
  • Pomona Fairplex (Pomona) – As of 4/3
  • Antelope Valley Mall (Palmdale) – As of 4/3
  • South Bay Galleria (Redondo Beach) – As of 4/3

Testing is by appointment only. Walk-up appointments are not available.

At this time, COVID-19 testing is limited to the most vulnerable of LA County residents – those who are 65 and older and/or have underlying health conditions. To learn more about drive-up, mobile testing sites, visit https://covid19.lacounty.gov/testing/

New Health Orders

LA County’s Public Health Officer has issued new Isolation & Quarantine requirements for LA County residents. Emerging evidence suggests that there may be a significant number of people infected with COVID-19 who lack symptoms and, yet, are capable of spreading the virus to others.

In accordance with the latest findings, LA County has updated the definition of a close contact, to include those who had contact to a person with (or likely to have) COVID-19 within 48 hours of symptom onset.
