Los Angeles County Monday reached the grim threshold of 7,000 deaths attributed to the novel coronavirus, and surpassed 300,000 cases.

Dr. Barbara Ferrer, county public health director, said the county has seen a concerning increase in the number of daily case reports — rising from an average of about 940 per day at the beginning of the month to 1,200 per day over the past week.

On Monday, L.A. County reported 861 newly confirmed coronavirus cases and eight deaths, bringing countywide totals to 300,614 cases and 7,000 deaths.

“This pandemic has forced so many to sacrifice so much this year, and we recognize the frustration and disappointment with the holiday restrictions,” she said. “For now though, it’s simply not safe to celebrate holidays the way we usually do. Being close to others who are not in our household carries with it a lot of risk for transmitting COVID-19 this year.”

There were a total of 767 people hospitalized due to the virus, 29% of whom were being treated in intensive care units.

Los Angeles County public health officials on Sunday reported 1,590 new cases of the coronavirus and four related deaths.

The numbers brought the county’s total to 309,197 cases and 7,074 deaths.

There were 799 confirmed coronavirus patients in county hospitals on Friday, with 28% in intensive care, officials said.

Southern California communities are reporting increases in the number of cases recorded each day, a concerning trend that has some officials worried that transmission of the virus could be on the rise.

In Orange County, which reported 233 new coronavirus cases and one death Sunday, the case rate ticked up to 5.1 from 4.6 the week before. Riverside County reported its most recent adjusted case rate at 10.1, up from 9.1 the week before. And San Bernardino County reported an adjusted case rate of 11.9, up from 10.9.

New cases topped 3,000 for two consecutive days over the weekend. County public health officials recorded 3,780 new cases of the virus Saturday, the highest one-day total since the peak of the crisis in mid-July. On Sunday, officials reported 3,061 new cases and three deaths.

The seven-day average of new cases has nearly doubled in recent weeks, with the county reporting about 2,371.9 new cases each day over the last week compared with 1,241.9 cases two weeks before that, according to a Los Angeles Times analysis.

Although hospitalizations haven’t yet reached the level seen during the summer, when there were more than 2,200 confirmed coronavirus patients in county hospitals, the number has shot up from a low of 687 in late September to 1,049 patients as of Saturday, raising concerns the increase could outpace the number of available intensive care beds.

"The risk of this disease has never been higher and the accelerating rate of infections has never been swifter," the mayor said.

In L.A. County, coronavirus cases have doubled in the last month. The mayor called on residents to take actions similar to those at the onset of the pandemic back in March:

Stay at home as much as possible for the next two to three weeks.

Assume that everyone outside your household is infectious.

Stop gathering.

Garcetti also urged people not to travel unless it's absolutely necessary and said those who travel into California should adhere to the recently implemented travel advisory and self-quarantine for 14 days.

New L.A. County COVID-19 restrictions, curfew details:

Gatherings will be limited to a maximum of 15 people for three households. The county's previous guidance limited gatherings to three households but there was no limit on the number of attendees.

A 50% capacity limit will also be imposed on restaurants with outdoor service, while personal care businesses and offices will be required to limit their capacity to 25%.

According to the county's new guidelines, advance appointments will be mandatory at nail salons and other personal care establishments. Any services that require the customer to remove their face covering will not be allowed.

Restaurants, breweries, wineries, bars and all other non-essential retail establishments must close from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

But while younger people are becoming infected more often, it is older residents suffering the consequences in terms of hospitalizations, she said, meaning young people are becoming infected and passing the virus to older residents who are at higher risk of severe illness.

"This is most unfortunate and it serves as a stark reminder that young people are spreading the virus with disastrous results for our elderly,'' Ferrer said.

But few places are facing a more critical crisis than Los Angeles County, home to more than 10 million people.

The county recorded the highest average daily number of cases so far in the pandemic, with an average of 3,613 people reporting new infections daily over the five-day period that ended Friday.

Los Angeles County recorded 4,158 cases Friday, according to an independent tally by The Times, a pace that places the region at risk of needing to order further restrictions on business operations.

Hospitalizations continue to climb in L.A. County, rising more than 75% in the last month. The coronavirus test positive rate has jumped considerably, from 3.9% at the start of November to 7.1% on Wednesday.

Daily COVID-19 deaths may also be starting to increase in L.A. County. For the seven-day period that ended Friday, an average of 22 people died every day from COVID-19, the worst such tally since Oct. 1, and a 50% increase from earlier in the week.

LA County Public Health: 1 In Every 145 People Infected With COVID-19

Unread post by AHE »

The outbreak of COVID-19 in Los Angeles County continues to get worse, and public health officials estimate every infected person is passing the virus to an average of 1.27 people – the highest transmission rate the county has seen since March.

Based on the transmission rate that LA County Public Health shared Wednesday, officials estimate that one of every 145 people in the county are now infected and transmitting it to others.

The number of people in Los Angeles County hospitalized due to the virus has jumped by 70% in the past two weeks, with the county now averaging about 300 new admissions daily, according to Ghaly. With the current rate of transmission, Ghaly warned there would likely be shortages in the number of hospital beds, especially intensive-care unit beds, over the next two to four weeks.

Another 49 coronavirus-related deaths were reported in the county Wednesday. The county also reported another 4,311 fresh cases of COVID-19, with 1,682 people currently hospitalized. A total of 7,543 people in Los Angeles County have died due to the virus, which has infected 378,323 since the pandemic began.

A majority of new infections have been from workplaces – Dr. Davis said there’s been a 67% increase in outbreaks reported at general worksites in the first two weeks of November and a 200% jump in outbreaks at food facilities during the same period.

L.A. County had the most COVID-19 patients in hospitals, reporting 2,185; the county is rapidly nearing its all-time high of 2,232, set in July.

The death rate is also rising — in Los Angeles, an average of 30 people are dying each day from COVID-19, triple the rate from the period around election day. Statewide, an average of 75 deaths were reported daily over the seven-day period before Thanksgiving, compared with 40 in mid-November.

The L.A. County Department of Health on Sunday reported 5,014 new cases of the coronavirus and 19 related deaths.

Los Angeles County, the nation’s most populous with 10 million residents, also has imposed tighter stay-at-home restrictions and a three-week ban on in-person restaurant dining because of what county health director Barbara Ferrer called “terrifying increases in numbers.”

On Wednesday night, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a city order that spoke in apocalyptic tones as it ordered people to remain in their homes.

L.A. “is now close to a devastating tipping point” that could overwhelm the hospital system, “in turn risking needless suffering and death,” the mayor’s order said.

Garcetti also urged the Police Department and city attorney to enforce the order, which carries misdemeanor penalties.

Other local governments are imposing their own drastic measures. In Santa Ana, a city of more than 300,000 in Southern California’s Orange County, the City Council voted to authorize a mandatory face mask rule and for the police to enforce it.

L.A. County has broken single-day coronavirus case records in four of the last five days this week. On Saturday, at least 9,218 cases were reported, according to preliminary numbers compiled in The Times’ independent tally, exceeding a record set Friday, when 8,562 cases were reported. The single-day record was also broken Thursday, when 7,713 cases were reported.

The numbers mean that coronavirus cases L.A. County are increasing at a pace that's even more dire than what officials had forecast earlier in the week. On Tuesday, The Times reported that L.A. County officials projected the region would be seeing 9,000 cases a day by the middle to end of the week of Dec. 7. The county crossed that threshold Saturday.

L.A. County is now averaging nearly 7,000 new coronavirus cases a day over the last week — more than quadruple the pace from a month ago, when the county averaged about 1,500 new coronavirus cases a day in the week that ended Nov. 5.

With at least 43 new COVID-19 deaths recorded in Saturday, L.A. County is now averaging 38 deaths a day, a pace not seen since late July, during the region's previous peak.

Cumulatively, L.A. County has reported more than 440,000 coronavirus cases and more than 7,880 deaths.

L.A. County hit its sixth consecutive daily record for COVID-19 hospitalizations with 2,855 people hospitalized in data released Saturday; that's quadruple the number Oct. 17, when 722 people were in hospitals with coronavirus infections.

Of those currently hospitalized in the county, 666 are in ICUs, a sum higher than at any point in the pandemic. L.A. County's ICU numbers have tripled since Oct. 17, when 197 were in ICUs, and have hit new highs on the last three days.

California has set new highs in COVID-19 hospitalizations for seven consecutive days, with 9,430 in hospitals Saturday — that’s more than quadruple the number Oct. 24, when 2,254 COVID-19 patients were in hospitals.

California’s intensive care units have never been busier with COVID-19 patients, with 2,182 in ICUs on Saturday, the third consecutive day the record has been broken. During the summer surge, the number never went above 2,058.

For the first time Los Angeles County has passed the 10,000 mark for reporting daily new coronavirus cases.

The county announced 10,528 COVID-19 cases on Sunday, along with 23 additional deaths.

The county now has 2,855 people hospitalized with COVID-19, with 23% of them in the ICU.

The Southern California region has 10.3% staffed adult ICU capacity. Once the region dropped below the 15% threshold, the new stay-at-home order was triggered, set to take effect Monday.

The latest figure represents a doubling in daily cases in just a week, after 5,150 cases were reported last Monday.

Los Angeles County shattered its daily record for new coronavirus cases, with 12,741 reported Thursday as hospitals continued to fill with patients, according to an independent Times tally.

The new total is more than 2,800 more coronavirus cases than L.A. County has seen in a single day — breaking the previous record set Sunday — and shows the coronavirus is still spreading rapidly through communities. The county also reported 74 new deaths, the fourth-highest single-day total of the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the new numbers, L.A. County is now averaging nearly 9,500 new coronavirus cases a day over the last week, and 52 COVID-19 deaths a day.

Cumulatively, L.A. County has tallied 488,519 coronavirus cases and 8,151 COVID-19 deaths.

A record number of COVID-19 deaths were reported in Los Angeles County on Wednesday, as well as an overwhelming amount of cases in the midst of intensive care units statewide slipping to just 1.7% remaining capacity.

One in 80 people in the county, the nation’s most populous, have the disease, officials said.

At a press briefing Wednesday, health officials announced 138 new deaths, the most ever recorded since the start of the pandemic, and 22,422 new coronavirus cases , including a backlog of about 7,000 late test results.

Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said there were 4,656 people hospitalized with COVID-19, 21% of whom were in the ICU, and every hour, on average, two people in LA. County are dying from the virus.

ICU beds across Southern California have been plummeting to critical levels this week, with capacity falling to 1% in Ventura County and 0% in Riverside County, the California Department of Public Health reported.

In L.A. County, fewer than 100 ICU beds were available as of Tuesday, and officials expect to see the number of people hospitalized reach 5,000 within a few days.

Dr. Christina Ghaly, the county’s director of health services, said one in every 80 people are now infected with COVID-19 and urged people to stay home as hospitals and health care workers are in dire straits.

Countywide, there have been 566,005 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 8,568 deaths, both numbers which are continually rising.

The county could top 10,000 total COVID-19 deaths in a matter of days.

Hospitals are so inundated that they’ve resorted to placing patients in conference rooms or gift shops.

On Christmas Eve, 140 people died from COVID-19 countywide — an average of one fatality every 10 minutes, according to data compiled by The Times.

Overall, 9,564 L.A. County residents are reported to have died from COVID-19. Health officials said Monday they are sorting through a reporting backlog they expect will add 432 deaths to the toll.

According to the latest state data, there are 7,181 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in L.A. County; 1,449 of them are in intensive care units. Both figures are the highest seen at any point in the pandemic.

Ghaly said Monday that approximately 50% of the county’s currently staffed beds, and just over two-thirds of staffed ICU beds, are filled by COVID-19 patients.

Among the four county-operated hospitals, a stunning 86% of ICU patients have COVID-19, Ghaly said.

Virtually all hospitals in L.A. County are being forced to divert ambulances with certain types of patients elsewhere because they are too crowded. On Sunday, 94% of the county’s hospitals that take in patients from 911 calls were diverting some patients in ambulances.

There are situations in which 10 ambulances are waiting to offload patients at emergency rooms, forcing patients to be treated in the vehicles for as long as eight hours.
