While Covid cases among fully-vaccinated Californians are still very rare, they are increasing. By late July, the county had a little over 5 million of its 10 million residents fully vaccinated. Of those 5-plus million who were inoculated, only 6,530 breakthrough infections had occurred as of July 20, 2021. That’s 0.13% overall. And only 30 of those 5 million people died. But as the prevalence of the Delta variant has grown, so have breakthrough cases.
Currently, 86% of residents and 85% of staff at skilled nursing facilities are fully vaccinated. For the week ending July 18, there were 33 positive tests for Covid-19 related to nursing facilities: six new cases among residents and 27 new cases among staff. For the previous weeks, an average of 22 new cases were reported among staff and residents at skilled nursing facilities.
In early April 2020, Los Angeles County health officials reported that 11 local nursing facilities had outbreaks of 3 or more cases and nine more facilities with at least one suspected coronavirus infection. Of the county’s 54 Covid-related deaths during that period, at least six were nursing-home residents.
There were just 20 new deaths reported on Tuesday. Five of the people who passed away were over the age of 80, six people who passed were between the ages of 65 and 79, six people who passed were between the ages of 50 and 64 and three people who passed were between the ages of 30 and 49.
