A new COVID-19 testing center will open Wednesday at the Betty Ainsworth Sports Center in Hawthorne, Councilman Haidar Awad announced Tuesday.
“This new testing center is a vital component to reopening Hawthorne, Los Angeles County, and California as outlined by Governor Gavin Newsom’s six indicators to modify the Stay at Home order,” Awad said, “Hawthorne is an ideal location for such a center, and I’m excited to bring COVID-19 testing to our residents who have had limited access until now.”
The center is located at 3851 W. El Segundo Blvd., adjacent to the Hawthorne Memorial Center, and will also be available to the neighboring communities including Lawndale, Lennox, El Segundo, West Athens and other South Bay cities.
The site is free, and available by appointment only at lhi.care/covidtesting, or 888-634-1123.
Dozens of testing sites are available in Los Angeles County, and can be viewed at covid19.lacounty.gov/testing/.
