L.A. County Launches Take Home COVID Testing Program

(Los Angeles, CA) — Los Angeles County is starting a take-home coronavirus testing program. Residents will be able to pick up a PCR test kit at 13 different testing sites, no appointment needed. People can complete tests at home, then return them to one of several drop-off locations for processing. The tests will detect both COVID-19 and flu infections, and results should be available between 24 and 48 hours. L.A. County’s mail-in test kit program was suspended last week but is expected to resume this week.
