YMCA offering free COVID-19 testing at 12 sites across Los Angeles

Students, parents wait in long lines to take COVID test

Dozens of school districts resumed in-person classes Monday, while the Los Angeles Unified School District will return next week. The LAUSD is requiring all students and staff to be tested before in-person classes resume Jan. 11.

LOS ANGELES - The YMCA is offering free COVID testing at 12 sites in Los Angeles in response to the recent surge in cases of the Omicron variant that has caused an urgent need for test results.

A YMCA spokeswoman said Thursday that no appointments are necessary at most sites -- but that, because of high demand, some sites are requiring appointments, and people interested in getting a test are urged to go ymcala.org for specific details.

PRC tests will be administered at the sites, with results available in 24 to 48 hours.
