LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles County health officials are warning the region is again trending in the wrong direction when it comes to COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.
The average daily rate of new COVID admissions to hospitals in the county as of Thursday was 8.1 per 100,000, L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said. She noted, however, that given the continued high level of virus transmission in the county -- particularly with more rapid spread of the highly transmissible BA.4 and BA.5 variants -- people should already be masking up indoors.The TV and film industry has a lower threshold of what it considers acceptable compared to the CDC, so they will put masks back on indoors.
The county reported 5,763 new COVID cases on Thursday, raising the cumulative total from throughout the pandemic to 3,118,053. Nine more deaths were also reported, lifting the virus-related death toll to 32,334.For some people already infected with COVD, the anti-viral medication Paxlovid has added another layer of protection. Its manufacturer, Pfizer, on Thursday asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for full approval.
No. Done with that shit.

Tired of this crap. We all got it or don’t care anymore.
It's over 90 degrees and people are bundled up in the picture like it's cold and rainy. At least put a recent picture up...
What, the monkey pox, or whatever they call it, is not catching on?
good luck enforcing it.
Where? Public transit
Went 2.3 years without it, vaxxed and masking but living life. Traveled for a graduation, mask off only for eating and a photo. Guess what I finally got? It was like a cold on steroids carrying a tire iron. Still coughing 1+ months later. N95 all the way, I don’t want it again
No one will comply this time.
California leading the way in stupidity. Only 8 states have mask requirements. It is time to push back.
🤑🤡😂😂
The sign should say, “Wake Up!”. COVID is spreading like wildfire and it’s a tough disease for millions of people. If you don’t give a shit about anyone else but yourself and you’re being reckless, YOU are the cause of the return of mask mandates. No one else. Quit deflecting.
Better get your boosites. extrachromosome
Nobody care anymore
vaccinesdontwork
Get a grip
Won't happen
Funny how the rise in cases only go up when we test. But for the most part, everyone is okay and not sick. It’s just the test that tells you to lockdown and put on masks.
Anyway, Hot Girl summer is here!
My Body My Choice !!!
Masks don’t work. Masks aka the liberals MAGA hat
Masks don’t do a thing
Dont worry gas is 6 bucks we aint going to do shit summer 2022 hahaha
Foh
Election time is just around the corner. Lockdowns to resume accordingly.
I think even the stores have had enough and will not enforce another mask mandate
Mask mandates aren't going to fly anymore. We should go back to full lockdowns so gas demand falls off a cliff and people will remember the real reason why it was $2 a gallon. 😀
Suspend the gas tax ⛽️
It’s in my house again. All fully vaccinated. Unbelievable.
NO. I will not comply. We are done. covid lockdowns no more.
Start reporting real news instead of this propaganda!
Nope.
Stay home, stay safe. Mask up everyone.
No. I’m vaxxed I ain’t wearing a mask.
Another mandate that we will be ignoring!
I hope they do it just so we can finally ignore their stupid fake orders and move on for good. Like when they just tried it in Philadelphia and nobody cared. Or like riding public transit in LA.
Yeah, we stopped caring about it last year. We've been told that we just live with covid now. Stop the fear monger nonsense.
Gonna be a “tough sell” for ABC7 , next time around…but, they have their orders 🤷♂️
It’s been high in Chicago since at least May.
You’ve been saying this every month for the last 5 months. 🗑
Guess we're not looking at the real metrics any longer. Look at Covid deaths Even with their loose interpretation of Covid deaths, it's tiny in L.A. County. Though since Barbara Ferrer makes $620,000 a year, count on her making a big show of pretending to do something.
The cdc needs to hurry up and make up mind on this
There's vaccines, boosters,,now its a power grab.....heres a familiar tone....its my body and its my choice ,,,,wear your face diaper get your 10 boosters but beung forced fffnnn done!!!!
...just another reason to leave LA county 🐒🤪🎪🤡🍿
Almost everywhere would be if they actually looked at infection rate not the nearly useless hospitalization rate.
Can’t have anything nice, can we.
Some do not want the fear mongering to end
They’ve been waiting to do it again
Barbara doesn’t even follow her own recommendation - why should we? FireFerrer
BS
COVID’s up, does this mean there will be a toilet paper shortage again 🙄. Who cares ABC, it’s the common cold now.
Time to mask up?
🖕🏻
BS
We don’t care shut up
