The death toll in Los Angeles County reached another grim milestone Wednesday, with the highest number of COVID-19 fatalities reported in a single day.
Los Angeles County health officials on Wednesday confirmed 42 more deaths linked to the coronavirus, the highest number reported in a single day, bringing the county’s death toll to 402.
Public Health Department director Barbara Ferrer also confirmed 472 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the county’s total to nearly 10,500. Officials have previously said the case count includes people who have recovered, but there is no way to track those numbers. Among the most recent deaths, 24 people were over the age of 65, 11 were ages 41-65 and one person was 18 to 40, Ferrer said. Information on the other six deaths wasn’t immediately available.
“This is a reminder while the mortality rates are higher for people who are older and have underlying conditions, people of all ages can in fact pass away from COVID-19,” she said.The county’s news comes after nearly a month of unprecedented social distancing efforts amid the coronavirus pandemic that have altered the lives of Californians. Public officials across the state this week have begun offering their insights as to when the restrictions may finally be eased.
“I want you to know it’s not, it will not be a permanent state,” he said. “We recognize the consequences of the stay-at-home orders have a profound impact on the economy, your personal household budget, your personal prospects around your future.”
