California gave high-risk patients one month notice of the change.

In April, the state will resume its annual eligibility reviews for Medi-Cal. With some enrollees no longer qualifying or unaware they need to renew their coverage, officials estimate 2 million to 3 million people could lose their insurance.

The state's coronavirus emergency order was first put in place on March 2020.

COVID-19 still kills 24 people a day in California.

California residents without health insurance will likely have more trouble getting low-cost tests, treatment and vaccines after the federal emergency ends.

The move by L.A. County comes two days after Metro dropped the face mask requirement, following a Florida federal court decision that eliminated the mandate on public transportation.
