Public Health Reports 29 New Deaths and 1,177 New Positive Cases of Confirmed COVID-19 in Los Angeles County

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) has confirmed 29 new deaths and 1,177 new cases of confirmed COVID-19. Of the new cases reported today, 71% are of people under the age of 50 years old. The highest number of new cases among all age groups in L.A. County are in residents between the ages of 30 and 49 years old at 35% of all new cases.

As younger L.A. County residents continue to drive new infections, the CDC advises in a new report that dining and drinking at places that offer on-site eating and drinking is one of the riskiest activities for COVID-19 transmission.

This serves a reminder to residents to minimize non-essential activities, like dining out, that puts them in close contact with people who aren’t in their household and creates risk of COVID-19 transmission.

There continues to be widespread transmission of the virus in L.A. County, which is why it is important not to gather with people who aren’t part of your household. It is still safest to stay at home and avoid non-essential activities.

To date, Public Health has identified 253,176 positive cases of COVID-19 across all areas of L.A. County, and a total of 6,197 deaths.

“We wish healing and peace to our families and friends who are mourning their loved one lost to COVID-19,” said Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Director of Public Health. “We need the help of our younger County residents to slow the spread even more than we are doing now, so that we can move into lower tiers that allow for the reopening of more business sectors and schools. This means this is not the time for non-essential activities and social gatherings, but a time for distancing and avoiding close contact with people you don’t live with.”

Of the 29 new deaths reported today, nine people that passed away were over the age of 80 years old, eight people who died were between the ages of 65 and 79 years old, three people who died were between the ages of 50 and 64 years old, two people who died were between the ages of 30 and 49 years old, and one person who died was between the ages of 18 and 29 years old. Nineteen people who died had underlying health conditions including six people over the age of 80, seven people between the ages of 65 and 79 years old, three people between the ages of 50 and 64 years old, two people between the ages of 30 and 49 years old, and one person between the ages of 18 and 29 years old. Three deaths were reported by the City of Long Beach and three deaths were reported by the City of Pasadena.

Ninety-two percent of the people who died from COVID-19 had underlying health conditions. Of those who died, information about race and ethnicity is available for 5,826 people (99 percent of the cases reported by Public Health); 51% of deaths occurred among Latino/Latinx residents, 23% among White residents, 15% among Asian residents, 10% among African American/Black residents, less than 1% among Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander residents and 1% among residents identifying with other races. Upon further investigation, 67 cases and three deaths reported earlier were not L.A. County residents.

There are 877 confirmed cases currently hospitalized and 33% of these people are confirmed cases in the ICU. Testing results are available for more than 2,436,000 individuals with 10% of all people testing positive.
