Los Angeles County confirmed 22 additional coronavirus-related deaths and 2,903 new coronavirus cases Monday.
This is the scenario that L.A. County health officials most feared — that reopening would coincide with sudden jumps in coronavirus transmission.In addition, health officials revealed that more than 500,000 people visited newly reopened nightlife spots in Los Angeles County on June 20 when the county gave the green light for bars, breweries, wineries and similar businesses to reopen.
“There are a number of businesses and individuals who have not followed the directives, and they’ve gone back to living like COVID-19 is not living in our community,” Ferrer said. “If you’re not part of the solution to slow the spread, you’re ending up being part of the problem.” Officials have previously said that the increase in COVID-19 infections is “highly likely” the result of people gathering en masse at protests over the death of George Floyd, in addition to clusters who have congregated in restaurants and at private gatherings.
