After multiple COVID-19 testing locations were determined to be fraudulent, a Los Angeles County supervisor is calling for a crackdown on fake sites.

Officials are shutting down illegitimate COVID-19 testing sites that have popped up in South Gate, Bell Gardens the Southeast Los Angeles area.

"It is imperative that the board ensure residents can be confident that they are receiving an accurate and a legitimate test without risking their private information," Barger wrote in the motion."These are popping up on street corners." The Federal Trade Commission sent out an alert this month warning about fake at-home tests being offered online.
