The number of coronavirus patients in hospitals in Los Angeles has risen in recent days, raising concerns among public health officials of an impending winter spike.
According to the latest state figures, there were 453 people being treated at hospitals throughout the county for COVID, of which 44 were in intensive-care units.
"As families are about to start their holiday travel and get-togethers, it continues to be important to follow simple steps to prevent respiratory illness and COVID-19," said Ferrer, who urged residents to get vaccinated. Ferrer also urged residents to receive a flu shot and practice infection-control measures such as hand-washing, mask-wearing and staying home, if sick.
