LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 10: A person waits to be checked in to be vaccinated at a clinic targeting Central American Indigenous residents at CIELO, an Indigenous rights organization, on April 10, 2021 in Los Angeles, California ( Mario Tama/Getty Images)
LOS ANGELES, CA Coronavirus cases continue to fall in Los Angeles as the pool of vaccinated Angelenos grows, but the county, once again, missed the cutoff to move into the next round of reopenings.
The coronavirus is still spreading in the community at too high of a rate to move into the yellow tier of the Blueprint for a Safer Economy. For that to happen, Los Angeles County would have to drop below less than 2 cases per 100,000 residents. As of Tuesday, the county was at 2.7 per cases per 100,000 residents. It s a massive drop from the peak of the outbreak during the winter and down from 3.2 last week.
Pima County in late March appeared to have won its battle with the state for a federally operated COVID-19 vaccine site. However, the victory was short-lived.
County officials said they won t be getting a vaccine site operated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but that another plan for vaccinating hard-to-reach county residents with federal help is in the works.
Rather than having one or more COVID-19 sites operated by FEMA, the southern Arizona county is asking the federal agency for six mobile vaccination clinics that could travel to underserved areas, with the ability to do 250 to 350 vaccinations per day each.

LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles County s average daily rate of new COVID-19 cases fell again Tuesday, but still remained too high to allow a move to the least-restrictive yellow tier of the state s economic reopening blueprint.
To advance to the yellow tier of the Blueprint for a Safer Economy, the county would need a seven-day average new case rate of less than 2 per 100,000 residents.
