One day after moving into the federal government’s “high” COVID-19 activity category, Los Angeles County logged 3,756 new infections on Friday, Dec. 9, along with 17 more virus-related deaths.
According to state figures, there were 1,243 COVID-positive patients in county hospitals as of Friday, down from 1,306 on Thursday. Of those patients, 129 were being treated in intensive care units, down from 132 a day earlier.have topped daily totals of 5,000 patients with COVID, an alarming sign as cases continue to spike from Thanksgiving with the next round of holiday gatherings on the horizon.
County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said the move will not trigger a return to any lockdowns or business closures that were imposed at the height of the pandemic. But she warned that being in the “high” category means the virus is rampant in the area, and the odds of being exposed are growing.
Ferrer has said the county will re-impose an indoor mask mandate if it remains in the “high” category and if the county’s virus-related hospitalization numbers reach two thresholds:— if the percent of staffed hospital beds occupied by COVID patients tops 10%.
