Covid Live Updates: Moderna Asks F.D.A. to Authorize a Second Booster for All Adults – The New York Times

Despite LA County’s dropping COVID caseloads, be careful out there, Ferrer says – San Gabriel Valley Tribune

While Los Angeles County continues to enjoy relatively low COVID-19 infection numbers and falling hospitalization numbers, the public health director on Thursday, March 17, urged residents to continue exercising caution, including during this weekend’s L.A. Marathon.

“I hope a lot of people have an opportunity to go out and cheer on our runners,” Barbara Ferrer told reporters during an online briefing. “I want to commend the organizers of the marathon, as always they’re attentive to really what we consider routine infection-control processes. We encourage people to try to distance as much as possible and if they’re indoors gathering before the run with lots of people, to keep those masks on.

“Obviously for the spectators, we’ll all be outside watching. We can do our best to keep our distance. If you feel like you’re in a crowded area and you’re a person particularly at higher risk or you live with people at higher risk or you’re unvaccinated in those crowded situations, we obviously continue to recommend that you keep a mask on.”
