'It's coming,' L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti warns, as coronavirus infections surge and state's death toll reaches 55.
As California’s death toll from COVID-19 reached 55, health officials in Los Angeles County said Tuesday that the disease caused by the novel coronavirus may have taken the life of a Lancaster teenager, possibly the nation’s first death of a person under 18 related to the virus.
Garcetti said Angelenos should prepare to live “for a couple months like this,” a rebuff to President Trump’s remarks Tuesday that the country could be “raring to go by Easter.” As officials try to determine the exact cause of death for the youth, it’s possible that the coronavirus and bacterial infection are correlated, one expert said.
San Francisco reported its first COVID-19 fatality, a man in his 40s with “multiple, significant underlying health conditions,” the city announced. The city now has 152 confirmed cases, and officials warned of a surge in cases within a week or two, with the public health director saying “the worst is yet to come.”
Across the state, officials continued to call for an increase in testing capacity and reporting. Frustrated public health directors in Contra Costa and five other Bay Area counties have ordered testing sites to begin reporting not just the positive cases, but also the negative results, which experts say is critical to tracking the spread of the virus.
Late Tuesday, the Los Angeles Archdiocese said it was closing all its churches and offices until further notice, citing the danger of the coronavirus outbreak.L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva added gun stores to the list of “nonessential” businesses, saying gun sellers will be cited — and may lose their business licenses — if they don’t close their doors.
In Sonoma County, parks and open spaces are closed indefinitely, including city, county, state and federal parklands and recreational lands operated by private groups and nonprofits.
