SAN DIEGO If San Diego County has administered more vaccines and has had a lower case count than Los Angeles County throughout the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, then how is Los Angeles County poised to move up to California’s least restrictive yellow tier come next week? Week after week, recently these numbers prove the hard work that we re doing as a community. I’m grateful to everyone in this county, who’s played a part in getting us there,” said LA County Department of Public Health director Dr. Barbara Ferrer.
