Terrill/AP"To put that in perspective, it took us 23 days to get to the first thousand cases and we've done that in just the last two [days]," Mayor Eric Garcetti said at a news conference.
Los Angeles County had a 13% increase in cases Friday -- the third day in a row of low-teens or mid-teen increases, the mayor said. This is a decrease from the previous week, when the city saw almost a 27% increase on average each day. "A week ago, the rate of increase was about 50% more than it is right now," Garcetti said."But on the other hand, before you start to get relaxed and say we can go outside, this is a moment to continue pressing on the accelerator."
More than 40,000 Angelenos have been tested for Covid-19, and Los Angeles has the capacity to do 3,500 tests a day in the coming week, Garcetti said. It has been 15 days since California has been under stay-at-home orders -- and 19 days since Los Angeles started social distancing.
