Next week LA County supes may vote to end county emergency declarations due to COVID-19.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors next week will consider a motion that would end the county’s local emergency declarations due to COVID-19, but the public health director noted on Thursday, Feb. 23 that such a move doesn’t mean all infection control measures will immediately disappear.
Hahn notes in her motion that the emergency declarations “saved lives and protected the health of county residents.” But it notes that thanks to the widespread availability of vaccines, therapeutics and other measures to combat virus spread and illness, “hospitalizations and deaths due to COVID-19 have dramatically reduced.”
“The county’s sustained preparedness, infrastructure and available tools in combating COVID-19 demonstrate that it is time to evaluate the county’s readiness to terminate both the county’s proclamation of local emergency and declaration of local health emergency for COVID-19.”
