The director, Barbara Ferrer, said the five current Covid-19 outbreaks involving schools — three in Santa Clarita and one each in Redondo Beach and Agoura Hills — “all are associated with participation in youth sports, not with attending instruction at school.”
“With these continued stable case rates and daily test positivity averaging about 1%, we can all feel hopeful that our progress on slowing transmission is not an illusion,” she said. “However, if we hope to sustain this remarkable progress, we need to be realistic about the risks that come with our return to places and activities that we’re such a big part of our lives before the pandemic. We need to be careful to take sensible precautions in the weeks ahead while we vaccinate more people.
“While in the past, high rates of transmission on the East Coast have translated a few weeks later to increases in cases in L.A. County, I don’t believe this pattern is inevitable,” Ferrer said. “Our circumstances are different now than in the past, because we have millions of residents and workers vaccinated.”
