The increase in coronavirus cases is 'pretty significant,' a top official said, underscoring the importance of vaccinations, booster shots and masks.
A new health officer order in Los Angeles County has the nation’s most populous county again enacting face-covering rules more stringent than the state’s or nation’s.
By contrast, 91% of L.A. County’s seniors 65 and older have completed their primary vaccination series. Tens of thousands of children nationally have been hospitalized with COVID-19, and more than 900 have died since the start of the pandemic. “There aren’t almost any other infectious diseases circulating in the United States that causes many children to pass away, amplifying the need for us to do everything we can to reduce this unbearable tragedy,” Ferrer said.
Ferrer said the number of reported infections still remains an important indicator of where the pandemic is heading. It’s not a guarantee that the coronavirus is now destined to mainly result in milder illness, she said.
