In another sign of reduced demand for COVID-19 vaccinations, Los Angeles County has announced it will close its four large- scale vaccine sites in coming weeks and transition them to smaller, community sites.
Average US daily COVID cases and deaths fall to 15,000 and 447 - the lowest totals in more than A YEAR - with former epicenters New York and California seeing infections decline by up to 64% in the last two weeks
On Thursday, the U.S. recorded 18,991 coronavirus infections with a seven-day rolling average of 15,045, the lowest figure seen since March 29, 2020
A total of 601 deaths were also reported Thursday with a seven-day rolling average of 447, which is the first time the figure has fallen below 500 since April 1 of last year
Between Thursday of last week and this week, a total of 105,318 cases were recorded over seven days, which is the lowest in more than year
At the current pace of COVID-19 vaccinations, it will take until late August to reach the target goal of getting 80% of Los Angeles County residents aged 16 and older at least partially vaccinated, roughly one month later than previously thought, according to a new projection released today.
