Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti said he has “not a lot of regrets” over how the country’s second largest city has handled the coronavirus pandemic, which has surged among the city’s Latinos and across the state in recent weeks.
Garcetti, a Democrat who was first elected in 2013, said the city also scaled back a once-soaring death rate among Black people through neighborhood testing and"putting messaging out there."
"My message is stick with what we do know," he said."Masks, washing surfaces and hands, and physical distancing, staying at home when you can." But among Latinos, the city's positivity rate has risen by 16 percent in the last couple of months, Garcetti said, adding that COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, is increasingly"becoming a Latino disease."
That reflects a broader trend across California, where Latinos make up 56 percent — or 167,650 — of the state's positive cases, . Latinos make up 45 percent of the state's coronavirus deaths, even though they are just 38 percent of the state's population.
