Los Angeles City And County Offer Free Coronavirus Testing To All Residents

Members of the Los Angeles Fire Department wear protective equipment as they conduct a novel coronavirus test on a woman, left, in Los Angeles earlier this month. The City of Los Angeles, in partnership with Los Angeles County, will offer free coronavirus testing to all residents regardless of whether they have symptoms.

The announcement by Mayor Eric Garcetti makes L.A. the first major city to offer free testing to all its residents. It came as county health officials reported another 1,541 confirmed COVID-19 cases.
