It’s a welcome development, but health officials say the trend could reverse after the holidays.
Reported COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles County dipped to 2,600 cases on average each day, a 12% decrease from the week before. But with holiday travel and get-togethers in full swing, health officials say caution is key.
“It is possible that L.A. County will move between medium and high over the next few weeks, assuming our hospital metrics remain the same,” said Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer.The COVID-19 warning system from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasizes hospital admissions over positive coronavirus tests to account for the rise in at-home testing. Dropping to CDC's medium tier eliminates the possibility of a mask mandate in early January.
