An increase in coronavirus cases at schools is occurring in part because of the lifting of indoor mask requirements, L.A. County health officer says.
After weeks of steady declines, coronavirus cases in Los Angeles County have begun to increase. For the week that ended Thursday, L.A. County was averaging about 879 cases a day, or 61 cases a week for every 100,000 residents. That places L.A. County is a situation of substantial coronavirus transmission rate.
“Signs of an uptick now unmistakable,” Wachter wrote. “If you’ve let guard down, time to be more careful.” Indeed, in L.A. County, the number of coronavirus hospitalizations remains low, with 273 coronavirus-positive patients in county hospitals as of Wednesday. That’s close to the lowest figure of the pandemic, when 212 coronavirus-positive patients were in county hospitals on June 12.
Ferrer also expressed optimism that the spring won’t be as bad as the Omicron surge this past fall and winter, which placed strain on hospitals. “We’re going to be acutely aware that this virus is unpredictable and stay prepared and do our best to minimize the tragic consequences,” Ferrer said. “I am hopeful, however, that given what we’ve seen and what we’re doing, we should be able to avoid a really big surge.”
