Los Angeles County is recording small increases in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations, and public health officials said that nearly half of the county’s coronavirus variants sequenced for the week ending on June 12 were the highly infectious delta variant.

Of the 123 people confirmed to have been infected with the Delta variant in L.A. County, 110 were unvaccinated and three were partially vaccinated. There were two hospitalizations among people in this group.
By comparison, variant cases have been found in 10 fully vaccinated individuals, none of whom ended up needing that level of care.
“If you are fully vaccinated, you have a lot of protection,” Ferrer said. “And for the very small numbers of people that may end up in fact with a breakthrough vaccination case, they really did not have serious illness.”
That’s especially key as the Delta variant which is also known as B.1.617.2 and was first identified in India continues to spread. The latest report of 123 cumulative cases is up markedly from the total of 64 that the county disclosed last weekend.
