LOS ANGELES — 11th District Councilmember, Mike Bonin reported Aug. 22, that Los Angeles is making steady progress toward getting the COVID-19 pandemic under control. In the weeks since the city paused reopening efforts and redoubled focus on avoiding crowds, wearing masks, and practicing good hygiene, L.A. has seen the rate that people are spreading the virus shrink.
According to public health officials, there have been roughly 28,000 new cases of COVID-19 diagnosed in LA over the past two weeks, which amounts to about 275 cases per 100,000 residents. Once a county has reduced its infection rate to fewer than 200 cases per 100,000 residents for at least two weeks, schools in the county are allowed to begin asking the state to reopen with new safety precautions in place. While it will likely be a while before schools are ready to reopen, the progress L.A. is making in reducing the infection rate is showing that reopening is within sight.
Please, continue doing your part to wear a mask, wash your hands, and stay at least six feet apart from people who do not live in your home.
