The Port of Los Angeles said in a statement that it continues to move cargo at all of its terminals to ensure the flow of much-needed goods as the US battles the coronavirus disease.

America's biggest port said it's taking all precautions necessary to protect its workers during the COVID-19 public health crisis, while all terminals are open and operating.
