"Since we became the first big city in America to offer universal testing, free to everyone with or without symptoms, we've tested more times than there are people in the city of Los Angeles, over four million tests across 14 city-run sites, 136 nursing facilities and over 150 mobile sites we've set up around the city,'' Mayor Eric Garcetti said during a COVID-19 briefing on Thursday.

People wanting to plan in advance can still sign up for an appointment ahead of their test at corona-virus.la/covid-19-testing.

Appointments are still required at Los Angeles County-run testing sites. Appointments at county sites can be made at https://covid19.lacounty.gov/testing/.

California has administered more than 7 million vaccines. Kim Tobin reported on NBC4 News on Sunday, Feb. 21, 2021.
