LA County Confirms More Than 250,000 COVID Cases Over Past 7 Days - 39,117 New Positive Cases and 72 New Deaths Due to COVID-19 in Los Angeles County

LA County continues seeing high rates of transmission with more than 250,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases over the past 7 days, down from the 291,000 cases reported for the previous 7 days. The test positivity rate also remains very high at 16%, a small decrease from the week prior. Daily hospitalizations have decreased to 4,698 over the past 2 days from a high of 4,814 people hospitalized with COVID-19. While these small decreases may indicate we are no longer seeing exponential growth in transmission, we are still experiencing a high rate of spread and a large number of people becoming seriously ill.

Given that deaths typically lag increases in cases and hospitalizations by several weeks, we are now seeing an increased number of people dying due to COVID-19, with 72 new deaths reported today.

Residents that test positive are reminded there are several important steps they should take after they receive their test result, including isolating away from others for at least 5 days. To exit isolation after day 5, residents will need a negative COVID-19 viral test collected on day 5 or later and have no fever for at least 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medicine and be asymptomatic or have improving symptoms. Residents who don’t meet these criteria can exit isolation after day 10, provided they have no fever for at least 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medicine and are asymptomatic or have improving symptoms.

Residents are also asked to determine and notify their close contacts of their exposure. Close contacts include those individuals who were less than 6 feet away from the infected person for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period in the 48 hours prior to the newly infected person developing symptoms or testing positive.

Additionally, residents also need to wear a well-fitting surgical or higher-grade mask around others both indoors and outdoors for 10 days, even if they are leaving isolation after day 5. The best masks that block COVID-19 virus particles are N95, KN95, and KF94 masks.

“We are saddened by the recent increases in those who have lost their lives and send prayers to all mourning their passing,” said Dr. Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Director of Public Health. “While the small decreases in our daily cases numbers, hospitalizations and test positivity are hopeful signs that the spread of Omicron is declining, we will need to remain cautious these next few weeks while transmission remains at the highest levels we have ever seen. With an average of 35,000 new cases identified each day, it is very easy for any one of us to encounter an infected person during the week. Avoiding crowds, keeping distance, wearing a high-quality mask, and washing our hands add layers of protection that can help each of us stay safe while also shielding essential workers during the surge.”

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) today released the latest data on COVID-19.
