LOS ANGELES — Coronavirus cases in Los Angeles County have stabilized, pushing off the prospect of a new indoor mask mandate shortly after New Year’s Day, but a second wave associated with Christmas and other gatherings remains possible.
L.A. County reported 2,911 coronavirus cases a day for the week that ended Friday, a 20% decline from the prior week. That’s a per capita case rate of 202 cases a week for every 100,000 residents. A rate of 100 or more is considered high.
Hospitalization rates have also stopped their relentless increase.
