Department of Public Health director Barbara Ferrer says L.A. County residents should be prepared to have the crisis continue for 4-8 weeks at minimum as they are bracing for a future of 2000 new positive cases per day
to more aggressively combat the spread of the virus. Per today’s report, dubbed “New York on pause” and outlined through “Policies Assure Uniform Safety for Everyone,” mandates that 100 percent of the state’s non-essential workforce stay home.
Barger then welcomed supervisor Hilda Solis, who announced the first of “many solutions” the county is taking to provide safe and secure housing for individuals who have tested positive for coronavirus or those who have been exposed or live in close corridors with those who have. That solution is a temporary lease of Pomona's Sheraton Fairplex hotel, which will provide 244 rooms to those who need to self-isolate.
