Two months ago, Gov. Gavin Newsom declared that California would be able to reopen its economy on June 15. Statewide, increasing vaccination rates and low hospitalization numbers seem to guarantee his prediction.
But even with the prospect of lifted restrictions less than two weeks away, COVID-19 continues to spread in Los Angeles County with 15 new deaths and 285 new cases of the virus reported Saturday.
Although life seems far different for many Angelenos than it did a few months ago, the weekly average of deaths and new cases prove that the virus remains a threat, especially for the elderly and infirm.
Moms who are wild at heart or don’t want to miss their 10,000 steps might crave a Mother’s Day hike. Think about a picnic along a scenic hiking trail that’s easy for the whole family.
