L.A. County Hits Milestone Of 28,000 Covid Deaths, Highest Daily Count Since April 2021; Reports 66 New Deaths, 41,765 New Positive Cases On Saturday
“As deaths often lag behind surges in cases and hospitalizations, sadly, the increase in deaths does not come as a surprise and tragically, we are prepared for even higher number of deaths in the coming weeks,” said Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer. “With unvaccinated individuals 22 times more likely to die from COVID-19 compared to those fully vaccinated, residents should not delay getting vaccinated and boosted as these measures are saving lives.
Covid test results have now been made available to more than 10,580,000 people, with 19% testing positive. Today’s daily test positivity rate is 17.9%. Public Health also today urged those in the County to “limit non-essential activities” in crowded areas—particularly indoors—and to switch out their cloth masks for an N95, KN95, KF94 or surgical mark for a greater chance at preventing transmission.
