is based on science.
That’s why we asked counties that are experiencing high transmission and positivity rates to close down bars & toggle back re-openings.— Gavin Newsom Newsom said Monday that the state’s positivity rate — the number of people who have tested positive among the total number of tests administered — has gone up from 4.4% two weeks ago to 5.5% on Monday. Hospitalizations have surged 43% in the past two weeks, but the governor said the state’s hospital capacity can handle the increase.
Los Angeles County health officials also warned Monday that the outbreak is worsening with more than 100,000 confirmed cases and more than 3,300 deaths. Barbara Ferrer, director of public health for the county, said new data show “alarming increases” in cases, positivity rates and hospitalization. The country’s positivity rate has jumped to 9%.
“There’s so much at stake, since these continued increases will result in many more people becoming seriously ill, and many more deaths of COVID-19,” she said. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health announced 2,903 new cases Monday, the single largest one-day case count since the pandemic began. The department also announced that there were 1,710 people currently hospitalized, higher than the 1,350 to 1,450 daily hospitalizations seen in recent weeks.
