Keep Up the Good Work, Los Angeles.

LA County residents have learned to recognize their faces, their voices, and even their styles for communicating the latest on COVID-19 in the County of Los Angeles. Well, The California Endowment is now recognizing them, too!

By saluting Dr. Barbara Ferrer, LA County’s Department of Public Health Director, and Dr. Muntu Davis, LA County’s Health Officer, for their leadership and early calls to Stay Home and Flatten the Curve:

Keep flattening the curve.

LA County residents are making progress in this fight – but it isn’t over. We still have to do more to better protect our most vulnerable populations who are suffering disproportionately from this pandemic.

So, stay home. Wash your hands. And especially if you’re sick, isolate yourself from everyone – even your family. Keep flattening that curve.
