The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention moved Los Angeles County into the “low” category Thursday, with the average rate of new COVID-19 infections falling below the threshold of 200 per 100,000 residents. The official infection rate as of Thursday was about 193 new cases per 100,000 residents.
Those statistics were good enough to move the county out of the “medium” activity category. The move has no practical effect for residents, since it will not trigger any changes in public health protocols, with most restrictions already lifted. Ferrer has also noted that the official number of new cases reported each day is an undercount of actual virus activity in the county, since many people rely on at-home tests, the results of which are not reported to the county.The average daily rate of people testing positive for the virus was 8.3% as of Thursday.
