Los Angeles County officials on Tuesday will consider drafting a proposal that would require proof of vaccination to enter certain indoor public spaces. On Saturday, L.A. County health officials reported 4,283 new coronavirus cases, the largest daily number reported in months and which public health officials attributed to the continued high rates of transmission of the Delta variant and significant increases in testing. County officials said the latest surge was showing signs of — it not letting up — leveling off somewhat. Lenée Richards, a spokesperson for 2nd District Supervisor Holly Mitchell, said Saturday the supervisor hadn’t shared her stance yet. Fifth District Supervisor Kathryn Barger’s spokesperson, Michelle Vega, said Saturday the supervisor was still considering the motion.
