Reporter Roundup: Learning Loss & COVID-19 Tests

On the April 30 edition of the Reporter Roundup, free COVID-19 test kits, lost learning and micro-business opportunities are all discussed by KPCC reporters.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has stated everyone in the county can get a COVID19 test, even if they don’t have symptoms. However, KPCC’s Jackie Fortier says there is a caveat.

KPCC’s Kyle Stokes has been looking into concerns of learning loss among students who are confined to home instead of being in the classroom.

Reporter Erick Galindo has the story of a Lynwood woman who has started a micro-business after losing her job.
