While it was well documented that the virus ravaged the area’s nursing home patients in the early stages of L.A.’s battle with COVID-19, less has been said about the toll on healthcare workers themselves.
A total of 11,841 healthcare workers and first responders in L.A. County have been infected with the coronavirus, according to Ferrer. That total includes an additional 1,149 new cases just in the past week. Sixty-five percent of those impacted were caregivers in skilled nursing facilities,Related StoryThat revelation seems even more important given the continuing high level of hospitalizations in the county. As of Monday, there were 2,017 COVID-related hospitalizations, said Ferrer.
There was better news on Monday in terms of new cases. The county health department reported 2,039 new infections, for a total of 176,028 since the pandemic began. Again, cautioned Ferrer, “we still have a slight lag because of reporting changes with the state.”The test positivity rate stands at 9 percent, one point above where it needs to be for the county to reopen further.
