.
County-wide, coronavirus or COVID-19, the illness caused by coronavirus, has claimed the lives of 44 residents while the total case count stands at 2,474 as of Monday. Per Ferrer, the mortality rate remains 1.8 percent and she was quick to caution that it reflects “a staggering reminder how deadly this disease can, in fact, be.” It’s also a disease that, for many, leads to hospitalizations.
Ferrer declined to say whether one of those facilities is the Twin Towers correctional facility, though it was confirmed Monday that there is one positive coronavirus case in the L.A. County’s jail population. The individual, per Barger, is no longer being held behind bars while receiving care at a medical facility. Furthermore, there are “four or five” cases among staff members who work at a correctional institution, Ferrer confirmed.
