L.A. County remains in the low level when it comes to COVID-19 in the community with all metrics trending downward, but health officials are concerned about new variants that can evade treatments.

In L.A County, scientists are closely monitoring three new subvariants. The BA.4.6 subvariant increased from about 3% to 5%. It's a slow increase, yet with new infections and hospitalizations, including a slight decrease in daily deaths, are trending downward. "Everyone should do the same. Everyone who is 12 years or older and has had their primary series should get the updated booster if it's been at least two months since your last COVID vaccine or your last booster," said Padilla.
