With our cases increasing, we are concerned about holiday gatherings and cooler weather where people are more likely to gather indoors. These are perfect condit...ions for spreading COVID-19. It is easy to believe that the virus won’t infect your friends & family. Unfortunately, with just 1 infected person, dozens of people can become infected over weeks and weeks of virus transmission. Some people will become seriously ill, and some may die. Simply put, when it comes to gatherings, you make the choice to protect other people or potentially infect other people with the actions you take each day.

Join Los Angeles County Department of Public Health tomorrow (12/17/20) at 6 pm for the COVID-19 Virtual Town Hall Event, which will cover the latest updates regarding the vaccine. Have questions? Submit them here ahead of time: https://tinyurl.com/askcovidtownhall
