T-Mobile donated 200 Android LG Aristo phones and Blue Marble Health provided access to their health app, which includes in-home workouts.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cWhile it\u2019s important to maintain physical distance during the COVID-19 pandemic, we are encouraging all of our residents, especially seniors, to stay active. However, that\u2019s difficult when there\u2019s a barrier to access the technology to do so,\u201d Emilio Salas, LACDA Acting Executive Director, said. \u201cThis partnership helps to break down that barrier so our residents can stay active and healthy \u2013 both physically and mentally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">This program is currently offered to residents at Harbor Hills and South Bay Gardens public housing communities and may be expanded to other residents in the future. So far, 30 residents received the free phone with instructions on how to access the Blue Marble Health app.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">For more information about how the LACDA is operating during the COVID-19 pandemic, please visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lnks.gd\/l\/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA2MTUuMjI5ODczMTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3d2EubGFjZGEub3JnL2hvbWUvY29yb25hdmlydXMtdXBkYXRlP3V0bV9jb250ZW50PSZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9uYW1lPSZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWdvdmRlbGl2ZXJ5JnV0bV90ZXJtPSJ9.pcisu_bnTJ3II-zRwlq2uypp17-ngfXlG4636X2xTP0\/s\/957600798\/br\/79873396143-l\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/lnks.gd\/l\/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDA2MTUuMjI5ODczMTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3d2EubGFjZGEub3JnL2hvbWUvY29yb25hdmlydXMtdXBkYXRlP3V0bV9jb250ZW50PSZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9uYW1lPSZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWdvdmRlbGl2ZXJ5JnV0bV90ZXJtPSJ9.pcisu_bnTJ3II-zRwlq2uypp17-ngfXlG4636X2xTP0\/s\/957600798\/br\/79873396143-l&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1592344875279000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEGOYyZdE0KoleDzy1eFuyG_hAxTw\">lacda.org\/coronavirus-update<\/a>.
