COVID-19 Kiosk Opens at USS Iowa

SAN PEDRO — Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn Feb. 23, announced that a free COVID-19 testing kiosk has opened today at the USS Iowa, located at 250 S. Harbor Boulevard in San Pedro.

“Our vaccination effort is our top priority — but until everyone has the opportunity to get vaccinated, testing is an important part of slowing the spread of this virus and protecting our community,” said Supervisor Hahn. “This new free testing kiosk at the USS Iowa is going to be a quick, accessible way for dock workers and harbor area residents to get tested and get results quickly.”

The testing kiosk at the USS Iowa — launching in partnership between LA County and Fulgent Genomics Laboratories —  will be open 7 days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is able to do 500 PCR nasal swab tests per day. Insurance is not required.

Both walk-ins and scheduled appointments are accepted. Appointments can be scheduled by visiting la.fulgentgenetics.com/appointment. Test results will be available within 24 to 48 hours.For more COVID-19 testing locations in LA County, visit https://covid19.lacounty.gov/testing/.
