LA County reported more than 5,400 new COVID-19 infections over the weekend.
The county Department of Public Health reported 1,640 new cases for Saturday, 2,175 for Sunday and 1,599 for Monday. The 5,414 new cases lifted the county's cumulative number from throughout the pandemic to 3,535,493.
The 15 new COVID-related deaths reported Monday from the three-day period gave the county an overall death toll of 34,171. 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.
The county has been seeing steadily rising case and hospitalization numbers since the beginning of November, prompting health officials to again "strongly recommend" that people wear masks at indoor public settings.
