L.A. County Transitions to New COVID-19 Testing Scheduling Platform

The new platform was designed to provide a more user-friendly experience that directly interfaces with the lab, reducing the number of errors in data processing and minimizing the number of participants who might experience a delay in getting their results due to a mismatch in demographic information associated with the test kit.
