California has reached a new high in the number of hospitalizations related to COVID-19, surpassing the previous peak in late April. As of Saturday, data show 3,574 hospitalized patients with confirmed cases —plus 1,105 patients with suspected infections.
The majority of new cases in the state are in Southern California and the Central Valley. Los Angeles has the most hospitalized patients — 1,515 – followed by Orange and Riverside counties.
Hospitalization numbers in California had been fairly level from mid-May to mid-June, before rising sharply on June 15. Officials attribute at least part of the increase in cases to a decline in social distancing as people venture out into the world again. "Once things opened up, a lot of people started ignoring some of the social distancing protocols," said Deputy Sheriff Royjindar Singh, a spokesperson for Stanislaus County,
to the nonprofit news organization CalMatters."We're having more exposure, so our case numbers have almost doubled, and with that our hospital numbers have also gone up."with elevated levels of transmission. In the case of Stanislaus County, the drivers of transmission include family gatherings, businesses and healthcare facilities, as well as the hospital accepting patients from other counties, and decreased use of face coverings and social distancing.
