END OF COVID-19 STATE OF EMERGENCY

The COVID-19 State of Emergency ended, on February 28, 2023. In addition, Los Angeles County’s declaration of a local public health emergency (PHE) for COVID-19 ended on March 31, 2023. While the end of the PHE means changes to some programs, many services will continue to be available to support County residents. Most public health response measures are not affected by the ending of local COVID-19 emergency declarations.

Information and up-to-date guidance for residents on COVID-19 can be found at Department of Public Health (DPH) –  COVID-19.
