The virus is still ravaging through the world’s communities, and it is up to us to keep each other lifted up and safe. That is why we are providing you with an update on the situation for our community of Torrance.

As of February 2nd, there have been 3.3 million cases in LA County. According to the New York times, The highest report for the county was on December 26th, with a spike of 64k new cases reported that day. The trend has been decreasing ever since, but other minor spikes occurred the first week of January, assumingly linked to the holiday season before. On January 25th, Governor Gavin Newsom lifted California’s stay-at-home order, permitting businesses to resume outdoor dining services.

Things have appeared to settle down, but what’s in store is still up in the air. The first doses of the vaccine arrived in California mid December. They have been slowly rolling them out to essential workers and high risk groups. As of February 2nd, over 3 and a half million vaccines have been administered in California according to the LA times. The first phase of vaccine distribution,1A, consisting of healthcare workers and long-term care residents has been administered. Phase 1B is underway, offering the vaccine to senior citizens and essential workers. The next phase is 1C, determined by age-based groups.
