The Beverly Hills City Council grappled with how to address the highly infectious Delta variant of the novel coronavirus at an Aug. 17 meeting, opting not to take any action while Los Angeles County weighs additional restrictions of its own. The Council delegated Mayor Robert Wunderlich to write a letter to the county in support of county-wide restrictions for vaccine requirements. This comes as Los Angeles County passes the grim milestone of over 25,000 deaths to COVID-19.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a motion on Aug. 10 to direct the County Department of Public Health (Public Health), along with others, to provide a report on possible proof of vaccination requirements for access to certain indoor spaces. The motion requested the report by Aug. 24 at the latest.
