The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is offering free at-home COVID testing kits at no cost.
You may recall a similar program last winter which was ultimately suspended when cases began to drop.
Here's how to get your kit, visit the L.A. County Home Test Collection website and sign up.
The test kit will be shipped via FedEx.
Once you get the test kit, take the test as soon as you can. All of the steps below must be done on the same day you get your kit.
- Activate the test online
- Collect your own sample from your nose
- Package your sample in the pre-paid overnight envelope
- Call FedEx at 1-800-463-3339 to schedule a FedEx Pickup, or drop off the packaged sample back to the Fulgent Genetics lab via FedEx express drop box.
- L.A. County says to expect results 48 hours after the lab receives your sample.
Just a friendly reminder to stay vigilant and safe this winter season.
