Health Care Agency to test for virus in LW on Oct. 23

STAY SAFE

The Orange County Health Care Agency will test for COVID-19 in Leisure World on Oct. 23.

The free, drive-through COVID-19 testing for Leisure World residents will be held from 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. at Clubhouse 4. Registration is required.

People can start registering on Tuesday, Oct. 20, at oc.fulgentgenetics.com. All registration is online.

People will need to bring an identification card and, if they have insurance, an insurance card.

Not everyone needs to be tested for COVID-19. Most people will have mild illness and can recover at home without medical care, but LW residents are at higher risk for serious illness.

Now that testing is more widely available, the OCHCA encourages residents to be tested.

Local case count information for Orange County is being updated by 2 p.m., seven days a week at https://occovid19. ochealthinfo.com/coronavirus-in-oc.
