It was the first time since early March that the county has reported two consecutive days when more than 1,000 new coronavirus cases were reported. The numbers underscore growing concerns about how the highly contagious Delta variant is spreading COVID-19 among unvaccinated people. Roughly 59% of L.A. County residents are at least partly vaccinated to this point, but the that leaves millions more who are at risk, officials said.
