Reporter Roundup: COVID-19 Testing, Sewer Rebates

Season 1 Episode 182

On the July 8 edition of the Reporter Roundup, KPCC reporters discuss COVID-19 testing, the shooting death of a Gardena security guard and sewer rebates. 

KPCC’s Jackie Fortier reports there is a backlog in labs reporting COVID-19 test results, while hospitalizations are up and more people are dying. 

A family autopsy says Los Angeles Sheriff’s deputies shot security guard Andres Guardado five times in the back. KPCC’s Robert Garrova has the details. 

Businesses that had to shut down during the coronavirus may get a break on their sewer bills, according to reporter Sharon McNary.
