Testing for the Coronavirus continued at the Rose Bowl on Wednesday as LA County health officials opened two more sites.

“Testing is now open to all exhibiting symptoms at least through the end of the month with longer hours, and capacity Monday through Friday.” said city spokesperson Lisa Derderian. “You must register, no walk-ups.  Please do not call the hospital for your results. Test will be emailed if negative and a phone call and email if positive.”

The site is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

On Wednesday, health officials opened another location in the San Gabriel Valley, this time in El Monte at the San Gabriel Valley Airport at 4233 Santa Anita Ave.

There is also a testing site at the AltaMed Medical and Dental Group, 1300 S. Sunset Ave., West Covina.

The county also began operating a site on Wednesday at the Bellflower Civic Center parking structure at 16600 Civic Center Drive.

Another drive-up testing site opened at 9 a.m. at the Forum, 3900 W. Manchester Blvd., in Inglewood.

The sites were opened as efforts continue to increase availability of tests across the region.

County health officials hope to ramp up testing to 10,000 people per day.

County health director Barbara Ferrer has noted in recent weeks that while testing has been expanding, it was still more readily available in more affluent communities. Efforts have been continuing to ensure residents of lower income areas have access to the tests.

“Many of our hardest working families are either uninsured or

underinsured and don’t normally seek access to health care, which is why increasing access to COVID-19 mobile testing sites remains one of my top priorities.” County Supervisor Hilda Solis said in a statement announcing the opening of the El Monte site. “We are in this public health crisis together.

This virus does not discriminate; it has the potential to impact all

communities.”

Supervisor Janice Hahn said, “The new facility in Bellflower will improve access to testing for residents in southeast L.A. County, and give us a better understanding of the spread of this virus in these communities. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you can make an appointment online for this new site in Bellflower or at any of the 27 testing sites established across L.A. County.”

The testing process should take between 5 and 10 minutes to complete.

However, waiting times may vary depending on the time.

Tests are by appointment only. Each testing client must give their registration number, which is generated by the screening website
