HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
Baton Rouge, La. Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards is encouraging everyone, whether vaccinated or not, to wear masks indoors if they can’t stay distanced from others.
His guidance released Friday comes as Louisiana sees more 1,000 people hospitalized with COVID-19 across the state.
But the Democratic governor stopped short of issuing any face covering mandates or new restrictions on activities and businesses.
Louisiana’s in its fourth spike of COVID-19, driven this time by the highly contagious delta variant. The state has among the nation’s lowest COVID-19 vaccination rates and is seeing thousands of new confirmed cases of the coronavirus illness each day.

(CNN) In Los Angeles County, which was crushed during the winter surge of the coronavirus, Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations are now again exploding.
On Saturday, the county reported 2,600 new cases. A day earlier, county health officials recorded more than 3,000 new Covid-19 infections, for the first time since February. Friday s figure was nearly triple what Los Angeles County was recording two weeks ago.
More than 60% of the county s eligible population has been fully vaccinated. Without those vaccinations, we would probably be seeing almost double the number of cases, Barbara Ferrer, the county s public health director, said recently.
Hospitalizations are also way up with more than 680 hospitalized with Covid-19 on Saturday, Ferrer told CNN. That s more than double as many as two weeks ago.
