LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County will end its COVID-19 emergency declaration at the end of March — the latest region to take that step amid stabilizing and improving pandemic conditions.
The move, approved unanimously Tuesday by the county Board of Supervisors, comes the same day Gov. Gavin Newsom formally rescinded the three-year-old statewide emergency declaration.
Like their state counterparts, L.A. County officials praised the original March 2020 proclamation of a local health emergency pertaining to COVID-19 for providing necessary authority and flexibility to respond to the outbreak.
