LOS ANGELES — Mayor Garcetti this week will deploy the city’s five mobile testing teams to locations in the East San Fernando Valley and South L.A., areas where COVID-19 infections nearly doubled in early December in these predominantly Black and Latino communities.
The Mayor’s Office utilizes countywide case data to spot changes in infection trends across 139 neighborhoods in the city. These figures inform the Mayor’s office in deploying mobile testing units and identifying locations of new permanent testing sites. The city’s mobile testing program allows teams to respond more nimbly to testing needs in neighborhoods across Los Angeles allowing these teams to reach the communities where infections are rapidly increasing and testing is most needed. Each mobile team, composed of members of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) and Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE), can test more than 1,000 people per day, with or without an appointment.
Additional neighborhoods:
Time: 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Dec. 17
