NEW: Los Angeles will become the first major U.S. city to begin offering coronavirus testing to all residents regardless of whether they have symptoms, Mayor Garcetti says.

“The priority will be on folks in those larger congregate shelters that are having more trouble with this social distancing,” de Blasio said during a press conference. Over 770 homeless individuals in the city have tested positive for COVID-19, including 660 cases among those experiencing sheltered homelessness, according to data from DSS. These positive cases have occurred across approximately 166 shelter locations.
