Los Angeles County's 3-year COVID-19 emergency declaration ends.

Los Angeles County's local emergency declarations due to Covid will be lifted after more than three years, allowing the county to marshal more resources in its fight against the spread of the virus. The move comes six weeks after California quietly ended its own state of emergency and one day after the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers announced that Hollywood's Covid protocols will expire on May 12. With the county's emergency declarations ending, the county Department of Health Services will be closing its PCR testing centers at the end of the day Friday.
