Los Angeles County reported nearly 7,000 new COVID-19 infections over the holiday weekend and Monday, along with 39 more virus-related deaths.
The 39 new deaths reported from the four-day period lifted the county’s cumulative death toll to 34,599. Health officials have estimated that roughly 40% of patients with the virus were admitted for actual COVID-related ailments, while others were hospitalized for other reasons, with many only learning they were infected upon admission.
“Public Health officials are concerned that traveling and gathering during the holidays will result in increased transmission and severe illness which would place greater stress on the county’s hospitals and health care system,” health officials said in a statement Friday.
