Los Angeles County set another daily record with 45,584 positive COVID-19 cases Sunday, continuing a winter surge in transmission driven by the omicron variant.
Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed spending another $2.7 billion to expand testing and boost hospital staffing, while calling for a new law to give workers more paid time off if they get sick.
On Monday, a new drive-thru COVID testing center will open in the City of Industry, at the Industry Hills Expo Center at 16200 Temple Ave. Long Beach -- which has its own health department separate from the county -- announced an expanded drive-thru and walk-up testing site that will open Monday in the former Boeing parking lot near 3590 E. Wardlow Road. That site will have the capacity to test 3,000 people a day.
The upgraded mask requirement for county workplaces mirrors an order released by the county for K-12 schools, requiring teachers and staff to wear higher-grade face coverings.
