Los Angeles County's move from the high to medium level, underscoring the progress that prompted officials to drop plans for a renewed mask mandate.
The latest maps and charts on the spread of COVID-19 in Los Angeles County, including cases, deaths, closures and restrictions.
To move from the high to medium COVID-19 community level, L.A. County had to record fewer than 10 new weekly coronavirus-positive hospital admissions for every 100,000 residents. The county came oh-so-close last week, recording a rate of 10.1, according to the CDC.Originally, Ferrer had said that a new indoor mask order would go into effect if the county reached the high community level and remained there for three weeks.
In Southern California, Orange and Ventura counties remain in the high level; while Riverside and San Bernardino counties remain in medium. Some of the most populous counties in Northern California and the Central Valley, however, remained in the high COVID-19 community level, including Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Fresno, San Mateo, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Solano and Monterey counties.
“I think we’re hopefully at the tail end now of this most recent surge,” state epidemiologist Dr. Erica Pan said duringWith the worst of the wave now seemingly in the rearview mirror, it’s becoming increasingly clear the major uptick in transmission — fueled by subvariants in the super-contagious Omicron family — did not wreak the same sort of havoc on hospitals as earlier surges.
California’s weekly COVID-19 death tally is still climbing, however, and rose to 304 for the week that ended Monday, the highest tally this summer. Still, the latest figure is far less than previous waves. The summer of 2020 peaked at 1,024 weekly deaths, and the summer of 2021 with 945 weekly deaths. During the first pandemic winter, there were 3,815 deaths during the worst week; and the worst weekly death tally last winter was 1,827.
