As COVID vaccinations rise, L.A. strides into a world where ‘new normal’ is anything but

LA Times  

Southern California is poised to reopen more broadly in the coming days. With coronavirus cases down dramatically from the harrowing heights of the fall-and-winter surge, Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties are now on the precipice of exiting California’s purple tier, the most proscriptive of the state’s four color-coded reopening categories. Currently, counties must have an adjusted rate at or below seven new coronavirus cases per day per 100,000 people to move into the red tier. According to new state data released Tuesday, L.A., Orange and San Bernardino counties recorded rates low enough to enable them to escape the purple tier once this new criteria takes hold. There’s increasingly concern of a coming worldwide fourth wave of the pandemic; officials are concerned about cases starting to rise in Europe in the last week of February following six weeks of declines, said Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer.
