COVID cases continue to mount in L.A. County, with the health department reporting 5,244 new cases and 21 additional virus-related deaths covering Thursday and Friday.
Numbers were not updated by the county on Thursday because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
The county said it recorded 2,337 new cases on Friday and 2,907 on Thursday, for the two-day total of 5,244. Ten additional virus-related deaths were recorded Friday, and 11 on Thursday. Health officials have said previously that roughly 40% of virus patients were actually admitted to hospitals for COVID-related issues, while the rest were admitted for other reasons but tested positive at the hospital.
Masks are still required indoors at health-care and congregate-care facilities, for anyone exposed to the virus in the past 10 days, and at locations where they are required by the operator.
