Los Angeles County reported 10 more COVID-19-related deaths and more than 1,700 new infections on Wednesday, as newly approved vaccine booster shots targeting the omicron variant of the virus started being offered.
With the summer nearing a close and fall/winter weather ahead -- pushing more people indoors -- county health officials on Tuesday urged residents to get vaccinated and take precautions to prevent spread of the virus -- and lower the odds of new variants evolving that could lead to another surge in infections.
"As we transition from the summer to fall, we can follow simple health measures now to reduce the potential risk of a surge," county Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said in a statement. "COVID-19 is still a dangerous virus for some of our family members, work colleagues and friends. By being fully vaccinated and boosted, especially with the new boosters against the more infectious omicron subvariants of the virus, we are helping to protect others in our communities, especially those at highest risk for severe consequences should they become infected."
