The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health on Sunday confirmed two additional cases of COVID-19 variant B.1.1.7 (U.K. variant), bringing the county’s total of variant cases to 14.
The U.K. variant is known to spread more easily and quickly than other variants and is circulating in the state and county.
In January 2021, scientists from the U.K. reported evidence that suggests the B.1.1.7 variant may be associated with an increased risk of death compared with other variants. More studies are needed to confirm this finding.
It is crucial for everyone to keep at least six feet of distance from others and to wear a mask whenever around people that don’t live with them. These measures limit the spread of the virus and known variants and can reduce the likelihood of a surge in cases due to the variant.
The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce launched its First-Responder Gratitude Campaign on Monday to say “thank you” to our hospital workers, emergency first responders, and paramedics for risking their own health and safety, even sacrificing time with their loved ones, to care for our community.
The SCV Chamber will use 100% of the proceeds of its $30,000 goal to pay for $25 gift cards from local SCV restaurants and retailers that will be distributed to 1,200 people working at our local hospitals and healthcare facilities and on the front lines as paramedics and emergency first-responders.
The concept for the campaign came to the Chamber from local resident Janine Cooper Ayres, who was moved by all the first responders have done. The Chamber evolved Ayres’ idea into the Gratitude Campaign to also support local businesses and began raising funds to launch the campaign.
