“We have not seen [a transmission rate] this high in Los Angeles County since mid-March at the very beginning of the pandemic — before any of the prevention or safety measures were put into place,” said Dr. Christina Ghaly, director of health services for Los Angeles County.
Even nursing homes are seeing more cases. In remarks to the L.A. County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, the director of public health, Barbara Ferrer, said there’s an increase in coronavirus cases “among staff and residents at our skilled nursing facilities where many residents are medically fragile and at great risk for serious illness and death from COVID-19.”
Case rates in several regions of the state have far exceeded levels seen since the summer months, The Times’ analysis found. Bay Area officials warned that the sharp jump in that region, too, is in danger of maxing out hospital capacity if things don’t change soon.“Even in our own county hospitals, we’re seeing a strain on ICU beds,” warned Santa Clara County supervisor Cindy Chavez.
