A day earlier, county health officials recorded more than 3,000 new Covid-19 infections, for the first time since February. Friday’s figure was nearly triple what Los Angeles County was recording two weeks ago. More than 60% of the county’s eligible population has been fully vaccinated. Without those vaccinations, “we would probably be seeing almost double the number of cases,” Barbara Ferrer, the county’s public health director, said recently.
