The City of Los Angeles is offering free COVID-19 testing to all L.A. County residents at eight locations throughout the city. One of the city’s most popular spots is the site at Dodger Stadium. The test is self-performed inside your vehicle and you can see the iconic Dodger Stadium outside your window. The stadium has been vacant much of the year, with the Dodgers playing the World Series in Texas.
This past Saturday, many people waited up to an hour for tests. But there wasn’t any honking or yelling. Folks sat stoically inside their cars as they were guided by Los Angeles Fire Department employees through a maze inside a parking lot.
Testing times were recently expanded at the stadium and now run daily from 8 a.m. till 8 p.m. The city’s other seven testing sites are open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Daily capacity for testing is 32,400, and residents can sign up for appointments online.
California recorded its millionth coronavirus case last week, with the County of Los Angeles reporting a total of 339,560 confirmed cases and 7,269 deaths as of Sunday.
Grab your Dodgers hat and sign up for a test on the L.A. County website.
