Los Angeles County is possibly at the start of a winter COVID-19 surge, its public health director said Thursday. Also rising in L.A. County are COVID-19 hospitalizations, which just before Thanksgiving hit a new low since the Delta surge began in the summer. For the week of Dec. 4, L.A. County schools had only three outbreaks in K-12 settings. Ferrer said L.A. County aims to make vaccines widely available through mobile clinics and home visits. So far, there have been seven Omicron cases identified in L.A. County, including two new ones reported Friday.
