As the City of Los Angeles expands its COVID-19 testing capacity, Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza will serve as a drive-through COVID-19 testing site. The site will operate by appointment only and will be open from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and will be closed on Sunday.  

The testing site at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza can be accessed from Marlton Avenue between Martin Luther King Boulevard and 39th Street. Baldwin Hills Crenshaw is the 5th testing site in South L.A.  

“We are very pleased that Angelenos will now be able to receive critical COVID-19 testing at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza, which has long served as a community beacon where South LA residents receive access to important programs and services,” said Quintin Primo, Chairman and CEO of Capri Investment Group. “Councilman Herb Wesson, Councilman Marqueece Harris-Dawson, and the Los Angeles Fire Department were instrumental in making this happen and we are thankful for their leadership and partnership.”  

According to the City of Los Angeles, testing is currently available to all residents of L.A. County whether or not they are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. Those experiencing symptoms and front-line workers may receive priority testing. Front-line workers include first responders, critical government personnel, health care professionals, grocery workers, delivery, rideshare, taxi, or public transit drivers, and credentialed members of the media.  

Residents can expect COVID test results to take 6-10 days. To register for an appointment, please visit: https://lacovidprod.service-now.com/rrs
