    COVID-19 Pick-Up Testing Kit Program Includes Plummer Park Site

    Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has a new testing program designed to increase and facilitate access to COVID-19 tests for LA County residents who are unable to obtain appointments. The Pick-Up Testing Kit program allows residents to pick up a PCR test kit, perform the test and return the completed test to designated sites for processing. Residents will be notified of their test results within 24-48 hours.

    The new Pick-Up Testing Kit program will operate at 13 testing sites across LA County. The COVID-19 Testing site at Plummer Park, located at 7377 Santa Monica Blvd is one of those participating locations. The site is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

    Pick-Up Testing Kits will be available without an appointment and until daily supplies are exhausted at designated locations. In alignment with all our LA County operated testing locations, the Pick-Up Testing Kits will also be concurrently testing for COVID-19 and Influenza (A and B).
