Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced the city is making novel coronavirus testing available beginning Monday to high-risk residents who are showing symptoms, and they can report their conditions through a new online portal.
The online portal, available at lacovidprod.service-now.com/rrs, asks people if they are feeling any symptoms, and if they select "yes,'' a tab drops down for the user to input his contact information.
Those considered to be high-risk and eligible for testing include:
- Those with symptoms who are 65 and older
- Those with symptoms who have underlying chronic health conditions
- Those who are subject to a mandatory 14-day quarantine period due to a confirmed COVID-19 exposure (with more than 7 days of quarantine remaining)
"Please help spread the word so we can deliver much-needed tests to as many vulnerable Angelenos as possible,'' Garcetti said in a Twitter post Monday.
It was not immediately clear how many tests the city has at its disposal.
