The LA County Department of Public Health continues to recommend that people who have been a close contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 be tested for the virus.
As we know, people who are infected with COVID-19 can be asymptomatic and can potentially infect others, and it is also important for LA County contact tracers to follow up with anyone who has been in close contact with a person who has tested positive.
However, it is still very important that, if you have been exposed to the virus, you quarantine for 14 days. A test for COVID-19 provides an indication for whether you are positive at that moment. You may develop the infection after you have been tested.

Health officials sound the alarm that current low census response rates put L.A. County at risk of losing federal funding to respond to emergencies like COVID-19 for the next 10 years.
Census forms can be completed online at my2020census.gov, by phone at 844-330-2020 or by mail if you receive a paper form. The L.A.

For the month of September, DACC will be waiving adoption fees for all cats adopted from LA County Animal Care Centers. Waived fees for cats will include adoption, microchip, and spay/neuter fees, but adopters will still pay license fees and trust deposits, if applicable.
The waiving of adoption fees is possible thanks to a grant received by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). The ASPCA has provided grant funding to reduce adoption and return-to-owner costs, which allows more animals to be re-homed and helps curtail pet relinquishment.
Please note that beginning September 1, fees will only be waived for cats.
