The number of deaths and confirmed cases reported today may reflect delays in weekend reporting. But today’s tallies brings the County to a total of 31,275 deaths and 2,811,864 positive cases.

L.A. County lifted its indoor mask mandate for both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals on March 4, following the region’s move from a “High” level of transmission, as defined by the CDC, onto a “Low” plane. Indoor masking is still recommended in all settings, and required in “high-risk settings” including public transit, emergency shelters, health care settings, correctional and detention facilities, homeless shelters and long-term care facilities.
