The number of COVID-positive hospital patients in LA County rose, as did the number of patients in the ICU for COVID-19.
"The emergence of the BA.2 subvariant is an important reminder that the more infections we have, the more chances there are for new variants to emerge, which is another reason why it remains important to take safety precautions," Ferrer said in a statement.
"We should all try our best to lower the risk to ourselves, family members, neighbors, and communities from COVID-19. This is especially critical if you're at increased risk for severe illness.
Rising along with daily case numbers is the average daily rate of people testing positive for the virus. That rate had been holding steady below 1%, but it rose to 1.7% on Thursday and hit 2.4% Friday. The rate is still low overall, but roughly triple the rate it was two weeks ago.
