Public Health Reports 193 New Deaths and 4,860 New Confirmed Cases of COVID-19 in Los Angeles County<\/em><\/h3>\n

<\/h1>\n

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) has confirmed 193 new deaths and 4,860 new cases of COVID-19. To date, Public Health identified 1,143,422 positive cases of COVID-19 across all areas of L.A. County and a total of 17,955 deaths.\u00a0 There are 4,607 people with COVID-19 currently hospitalized and 28% of these people are in the ICU.<\/p>\n

\n

Public Health warns Super Bowl parties can become\u00a0super-spreader events. Please plan to enjoy this year\u2019s\u00a0Super Bowl without putting yourself or your\u00a0friends,\u00a0family and\u00a0neighbors at risk. Cases\u00a0and hospitalizations\u00a0are going down, but\u00a0remain high,\u00a0and\u00a0we cannot afford to\u00a0engage in risky activities that could\u00a0result in\u00a0this virus spreading more easily.\u00a0When people from different households\u00a0mix, this increases the risk of\u00a0spread\u00a0of COVID-19, especially if\u00a0this\u00a0occurs\u00a0indoors\u00a0and\u00a0<\/wbr>without face coverings and physical\u00a0distancing.\u00a0The risk\u00a0of spread also increases the longer the\u00a0duration of\u00a0these\u00a0interactions. These kinds of gatherings in the past have resulted in a tragic surge in cases, an overwhelmed healthcare system,\u00a0and many deaths.<\/p>\n

\n

The safest way to enjoy the Super Bowl is with the people you live with and virtually with those that don\u2019t live you. If you\u00a0decide to\u00a0privately\u00a0gather with others, it must be\u00a0held\u00a0outdoors,\u00a0kept small (limited to\u00a0a total of\u00a015 or less people from\u00a0up to 3 different\u00a0households\u00a0only),\u00a0<\/wbr>and\u00a0limited to 2 hours.\u00a0Everyone attending\u00a0the\u00a0private gathering\u00a0must also\u00a0wear a\u00a0face covering and\u00a0maintain at least six feet of\u00a0physical distancing\u00a0from people from\u00a0the\u00a0other\u00a0households.<\/p>\n

\n

It is critically important that\u00a0people\u00a0not attend any private gatherings or leave their home if they are experiencing symptoms of illness, have\u00a0not finished their isolation period after\u00a0testing\u00a0positive for COVID-19,\u00a0or\u00a0have\u00a0not finished their quarantine period after\u00a0being\u00a0exposed or likely\u00a0to\u00a0have been exposed to someone who is positive\u00a0for COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\n

Public Health has confirmed nine additional case of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). This brings the total cases of MIS-C in L.A. County to 75 children including one child death. All 75 children with MIS-C in L.A. County were hospitalized and 44% of the children were treated in the ICU. Of the children with MIS-C, 32% were under the age of 5 years old, 39% were between the ages of 5 and 11 years old, and 29% were between the ages of 12 and 20 years old. Latino\/Latinx\u00a0children account for 76% of the reported cases.<\/p>\n

\n

MIS-C is an inflammatory condition associated with COVID-19 and symptoms include fever that does not go away and inflamed body parts, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs. If you believe your child is displaying MIS-C symptoms, contact your\u00a0primary care or an urgent care\u00a0provider. Seek emergency care for critical or life-threatening conditions. If you do not have a primary care provider, dial 2-1-1 and L.A. County will help connect you to one.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe send our deepest sympathies to every person experiencing the sorrow of losing a loved one to COVID-19,\u201d said Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Director of Public Health. \u201cDespite seeing some decreases,\u00a0we continue to experience widespread community transmission in our county. The\u00a0riskiest\u00a0thing\u00a0people\u00a0can do tomorrow for Super Bowl Sunday, given our high case counts, is gather with others that\u00a0don’t live with them\u00a0to enjoy the game. Please don’t attend\u00a0or host\u00a0parties that could turn Super Bowl Sunday into super-spreader Sunday.\u00a0 Instead,\u00a0enjoy\u00a0the game at home with those\u00a0who\u00a0live with\u00a0you\u00a0or connect virtually with friends and family online to prevent another surge in cases.”<\/p>\n

\n

Of the 193 new deaths reported today, 54 people that passed away were over the age of 80, 91 people who died were between the ages of 65 and 79, 29 people who died were between the ages of 50 and 64, 11 people who died were between the ages of 30 and 49. Five deaths were reported by the City of Long Beach and three deaths were reported by the City of Pasadena.<\/p>\n

\n

Testing results are available for nearly 5,590,000 individuals with 19% of people testing positive.<\/p>\n

\n

COVID-19 vaccine supply remains very limited.\u00a0Los Angeles County healthcare workers in\u00a0Phase 1A<\/a>\u00a0and County residents age 65 and older are eligible to get their vaccination. Health care providers may provide communication to this high-priority age group about COVID-19 vaccinations and how to receive one through their provider. For information about vaccines in L.A. County, when your turn is coming up and to sign up for a vaccination newsletter, and much more, visit:\u00a0www.VaccinateLACounty.<\/wbr>com<\/a>.\u00a0Eligible residents with internet access and a computer can use the website to sign up for vaccine as appointments become available. Please don’t sign up to be vaccinated if it is not your turn.<\/p>\n

\n

A call center is available and reserved for people with disabilities or who don\u2019t have a computer or internet access. For those without access to a computer or the internet, or with disabilities, the call center is open to help schedule appointments daily from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. at 833-540-0473. The call center uses the same system as the online system and is a low-tech way for those with accessibility needs and older people who may not have a computer or a smart phone to make an appointment.<\/p>\n
