Travel Safe! Don?t Let COVID-19 Interrupt Your Summer Plans
As many Los Angeles County residents make summer travel plans, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) encourages people to take common-sense measures while traveling to avoid contracting and spreading COVID-19, especially at this time of year, when case rates and hospitalizations typically have risen.
Although data shows that COVID-19 transmission remains low in Los Angeles County, for the past three years, Los Angeles County has experienced a significant increase in transmission between June and August, when increased travel, celebrations and gatherings have contributed to summer surges.
To reduce risks?during travel, Public Health urges all residents to take simple precautions, including staying home when sick, masking while using public transportation and testing if a person is experiencing respiratory symptoms or has been exposed to COVID-19. For added protection, it is also recommended that people traveling together are up to date on COVID vaccines before departure.
