NEED TO EXPAND COVID TESTING

On Tuesday, Councilmember Price seconded a motion directing the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) and the Emergency Management Department (EMD) to explore ways to expand the City’s existing contract with Curative to provide more COVID testing due to the Omicron variant that led to the winter surge. The motion also instructs the City Attorney and other City departments to identify city-owned buildings or properties that can be used as additional walk-up testing sites. Click here for the motion.
