LA County expands free testing in COVID-19 hot spot
Vallarta Supermarkets to offer COVID-19 testing
New Vallarta Supermarkets will partner with the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services to offer COVID-19 tests to local residents in hard hit areas.
LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles County Department of Public is teaming up with Vallarta Supermarkets, one of the largest Latino-serving grocers in California, to expand free COVID-19 testing in Pacoima. The San Fernando Valley neighborhood is considered one of the hardest hit communities by the virus.
COVID-19 deaths in the Latino community have skyrocketed, county health officials said.
They added that deaths among the LatinX community have gone up more than 1,000% since November. Underserved areas like MacArthur Park, Boyle Heights and South Los Angeles are particularly susceptible to infection because of dense housing, crowded living conditions and a higher percentage of essential workers in these communities.

Supermarkets have been hit hard by the unprecedented explosion of the coronavirus in Los Angeles County, further straining an essential service that needs to remain open despite the new stay-at-home order.
Outbreaks are increasing at an alarming rate across industries, officials say an unavoidable consequence of so many people falling sick in the region. But those at grocery stores and other essential retailers pose a unique challenge for officials attempting to reduce coronavirus transmission, as well as for county residents trying to pare down their activities to only what is necessary.
L.A. County is investigating ongoing coronavirus outbreaks at 490 businesses, compared with 173 a month ago, according to county data. The increase in outbreaks drives home officials’ warnings that the only way to stay safe is to stay home, even as many businesses remain open.
