LOS ANGELES (CNS) - On the one-year anniversary of the county s first public health order closing restaurants and banning public gatherings due to the then-burgeoning COVID-19 threat, Los Angeles County continued its progress in beating back the pandemic, with the daily rate of new infections sliding again.
According to figures released by the state Tuesday, the county s adjusted daily rate of new COVID-19 cases is 4.1 per 100,000 residents, down from 5.2 per 100,000 last week.
The county on Monday officially entered the red tier of state s four- level Blueprint for a Safer Economy, which governs business restrictions during the pandemic. County rankings in the blueprint are based on the rates of daily new cases and the rate of people testing positive for the virus. Los Angeles County s seven-day average of positive tests is now at 2%, according to the state.
A wave of reopenings has recently washed over California. Could more be around the corner?
In Los Angeles County, which only days ago moved into the red tier for the first time since the state unveiled its four-category color-coded coronavirus reopening blueprint, officials are already eyeing the possibility of further advancement.
Should current trends continue, it’s possible the county could enter the even more lenient orange tier next month, said Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer.
But, she stressed, “we get there together, by playing by the rules.”

“I am relieved that we are in our recovery, where more and more people are being vaccinated and cases, hospitalizations and deaths continue to decrease but it has come at a huge price,” she said during a briefing Wednesday.
