“As long as this disease spreads, we have to continue to scale, and as long as this disease takes lives, we must test,” Garcetti said at his daily coronavirus briefing. There are currently 34 testing sites countywide, and the city has the capacity to test 18,000 people a day, Garcetti said. “Don’t wait, don’t wonder and don’t risk infecting others,” he said. Gavin Newsom (D) unveiled his four-phase plan Tuesday, which included the possibility that select businesses could be up and running again within weeks, according to the Los Angeles Times. ADADGorell said he anticipates the expansion in testing to play a major part in influencing how the city adjusts its coronavirus response moving forward.
