Kicking off 2022, Claremont received troubling news. As of Wednesday, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health recorded 628 new COVID-19 infections in the city over the previous two weeks. The winter surge is likely driven by holiday travel, winter weather and the less dangerous but still deadly Omicron variant.
In our year-end edition, the COURIER expressed hope that high vaccination rates in Los Angeles County would somehow blunt the rapid spread of the Omicron variant and that the region would avoid the explosion of new cases seen in other areas. But, as usual, the virus had other plans.

As we look back at the year 2021 it’s not surprising that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic dominated the news. However, Claremont got back on its feet.
By most, 2021 will be remembered as the year we all got along with COVID-19 — interpret that either as humans learning to live with the reality of COVID-19 or just us being nice to a virus.
