Despite concerns over a possible rise in COVID-19 cases from the Labor Day weekend, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) has released figures showing progress in key indicators, including positivity rates, hospitalizations and deaths. This report comes as Public Health announced plans to reduce restrictions on shopping malls, nail salons, and schools.
“To everyone who is mourning people who have passed away from COVID-19, we keep you in our thoughts and in our hearts,” said Director of Public Health Dr. Barbara Ferrer in a statement. “As more businesses and schools are reopening, let’s remind each other that diligence in slowing the spread of COVID-19 has brought us to a place where these openings are possible.”
