Los Angeles County reported nearly 7,000 new COVID-19 infections over the holiday weekend along with 39 more virus-related deaths in its latest data
The county Department of Public Health logged 3,257 infections on Saturday, 1,932 Sunday; 1,137 Monday; and 668 Tuesday. The new cases gave the county an official total from throughout the pandemic of 3,622,250.
The seven-day average daily rate of people testing positive for the virus was 14.5% as of Tuesday, up from 11.3% a week ago. Although case numbers have been falling in recent weeks, county health officials warned last week that"death rates ... continue to climb in Los Angeles County, especially among older people."
County officials urged residents to exercise caution during the holiday season and"layer" protections to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. The county last week moved from the"high" COVID activity category to the"medium" category, as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The move did not have any impact on public health restrictions, although it decreased the likelihood of the county re-imposing an indoor mask-wearing mandate, which Ferrer previously said could be done if case rates and hospitalization numbers continued to increase.
