The average daily number of COVID-positive patients in county hospitals was 1,056 as of Friday, up 39% from a week ago.
“While there still is uncertainty about what the impact of COVID-19 will be this winter, there is mounting evidence that we are entering another COVID-19 surge,'' county Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said in a statement. Ferrer said Thursday that the rising case and hospitalization numbers have moved Los Angeles County from the ``low'' COVID community activity level to the “medium” category, as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She said the county is on pace to reach the “high” level in a matter of days, when the rate of new cases reaches 200 per 100,000 residents.
