Los Angeles Eighteen percent of Americans or nearly 162 million people are fully vaccinated. Still COVID infections are on the rise in half the country, including at least 25 states and Washington, D.C. Worshippers in Los Angeles celebrated Easter Sunday at church for the first time in months.
They were inside in pews and outside in cars, where relaxed COVID restrictions allowed them to gather. Some people, however, were unmasked and ignoring safety protocols.
Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb told CBS News Face the Nation on Sunday that Americans must remain vigilant.
