LA County Lockdown Likely To Continue Through July

The Los Angeles Times reports:

Los Angeles County’s stay-at-home orders will “with all certainty” be extended for the next three months, Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer [photo] acknowledged during a Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday.

Ferrer, though she didn’t issue an official order, said that timeline would only change if there was a “dramatic change to the virus and tools at hand.”

“Our hope is that by using the data, we’d be able to slowly lift restrictions over the next three months,” she said. But without widely available therapeutic testing for the coronavirus or rapid at-home versions that would allow people to test themselves daily, it seems unlikely that restrictions would be completely eased.
