Dr. Barbara Ferrer reported 513 newly diagnosed cases of the novel coronavirus, bringing the total case count county-wide to 3518
An additional 11 people have died from COVID-19 illness in L.A. County, bringing the total number of fatalities in the area to 65.
"Every day reporting these numbers is devastating and I know it's more devastating for families and friends who have experienced this tremendous loss," Ferrer said at the start of her remarks that, for days now, have opened on an emotional bent of gratitude for county leadership mixed with sympathy for lives lost as residents face an unprecedented pandemic of historic proportions that has led to widespread shutdowns in non-essential business operations and a devastated economy.
In L.A. County, 733 people who tested positive for COVID-19 have been hospitalized at some point, representing 20 percent of cases. Public health officials have kept a close watch on the homeless and jail populations and today, Ferrer reported that the county now has five positive cases from those experiencing homelessness. None have died thus far, and Ferrer said as far as she knows today, none of the five are currently hospitalized.
