Health officials are worried that July 4th celebrations will increase the spread of coronavirus.
"I'm very worried about anytime there is a holiday where people are going to gather," said Dr. Angelique Campen of Providence St. Joseph Medical Center. "Of course, we are going to see yet another uptick after this holiday. Fortunately, it is not as much a life and death situation," she added.
The state reported that there were 810 COVID patients in LA County hospitals, up 19 from Friday, and up 288 in just the last month. In Orange County, the number went up to 227, and in Riverside County, there were 149 COVID-19 patients who remain hospitalized.
