Local officials said today that five more people died of COVID19 in Los Angeles County during the past 24 hours
Nine people have died of COVID-19 in Los Angeles County in the past 24 hours, local officials said today. That is the most for a single day in the region and brings the death toll to 21.
“We have to assume that the spread of COVID-19 is throughout Los Angeles County,” Ferrer said, adding that if the pace continues, “there could be over a million people infected” in the region. Of those patients, some 200,000 of those would require hospitalization, she said. Officials said the Los Angeles Convention Center soon will be used for “non-licensed” care of COVID-19 patients, such as quarantines and recovery. They are expecting equipment to be delivered on Saturday but couldn’t provide a hard date for when the facility will open to accept patients.
