Top Health Official Says Los Angeles County On Track To Enter Yellow Tier This Week

deadline.com:

“I think we’re on track to move into the Yellow tier,” said Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer on Monday. “I know our case numbers stayed low.”The continued low case numbers are expected to allow the county this week to advance to the least-restrictive Yellow tier of the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy, which guides economic and other restrictions during the pandemic.

Even more remarkable than the case numbers, the county reported zero new Covid-related deaths on Sunday and Monday.Reaching the Yellow tier requires a county to have an adjusted average daily rate of new COVID cases that is less than two per 100,000 residents.
