As cases for the novel coronavirus reached 25,884 in California, including 804 deaths, the state has increased efforts to test individuals.

“I am happy to announce that Inglewood will be hosting a new COVID-19 County of Los Angeles Test site at the Fabulous Forum to better serve our community and the surrounding area,” Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts, Jr. announced this week during a You Tube public service announcement.

The Forum COVID-019 test site will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week at 3900 W. Manchester Blvd., Inglewood. Individuals will need to make an appointment online at www.coronavirus.lacity.org/testing.

“Upon completing your registration, you’ll have the option of selecting a location that best serves your needs,” Butts said. “I can’t emphasize this enough , please keep your scheduled appointment.”

There are nearly two dozen testing sites within LA County, designed to help reduce the spread of the coronavirus, which causes the COVID-19 disease. The disease usually causes fever and cough, but can cause severe symptoms such as pneumonia and difficulty breathing. The Virus is thought to spread mainly form person-to-person between people who are in close contact with one another (within six feet) or through respiratory droplets produced with someone coughs or sneezes.

“Remember we’re all in this together,” Butts said. “Finally I want to thank the men and women from LA County Public Health, LA County Fire Department, the Inglewood Police Department and the other agencies that are cooperating and staffing the Forum site and other sites across the county to meet the various needs of our region.”
